Thanks MAC. Good post. He was in a real hurry. That's for sure. When I saw the shute open I couldn't really believe he made it. Strange thing is that it wasn't any explotions or smoke... I think I held my breath for a good few secs there. And then the relief as the speaker informed us the pilot had made it out. The speakers last comment was something like this; 'These things happen. This is aviation you know...'

thanks Bud...beautiful babes in flight. i will return the favor someday..

that pilot was gracious...extremely gracious. a lesser man would have taken that moment in the spotlight to vent and cast blame or bash.... a true gentleman.

oh just stole this from another forum....a still of the moment of impact. the pony looks pretty small compared to the raider doesnt she?

The raider is a brute shining brutal power. It's huge and heavy! Nice pic. We're even bud. No worries. You have fed me top notch stuff in loads bro. I got a cpl of more of the Horsemen coming up.
The pilot there is a true officer and a gentleman. That's 4 sure. It was time 'to get proffesional' he said. Well put...






They're close...


And then there's Ferocious Frankie

very nice pics guys!!top nice!!

and thx for the curtiss h75 of the "armée de l'air"(french air force),it seems to be a h75 of the "groupe de chasse" II/5(fighter group II/5).1939-1940
this french squadron did one of the best sucess of the battle of france ,the november ,6 1939,27 bf109d of the jgr 102,lead by hptm hannes gentzen,engaged the dogfight with 9 curtiss hawk 75 of the groupe de chasse II/5,the curtiss h75 is better than the 109d and the 9 french pilots were a "experten",at the end of the battle ,5 bf109 d were destoyed sure and 5 others probably destroyed...0 french curtiss were destroyed.
