Re: Norwegian Golden Oldies
That last one should really be POTW, it's everything a guy wants for a fast jet ride in one! Love the P-3 and the Sea King shot!
Re: Norwegian Golden Oldies
One of the best posts ever!! Excellent stuff - too many to comment on but the Albatross, Dak, Boxcar, Sabre dog and Thunderflash are way up there. So glad the F-5s and '104s didn't go green.. Superb stuff sir.

Is that the People's Mosquito I see? Or is it just Norwegian Wood...
(Wouldn't mind seeing the Junkers 52 that's visible in the background of the Texan shot)
