Vintage shots from days gone by!

a Globe Swift. I've always wanted one. They are the hot rods of aviation; many of them are highly modified.

That is not Keith Moon - it is George Best the Soccer player from Northern Ireland with his Lotus Europa

 

Globe Swift, nice little plane although a bit under powered with a the stock C-125 Continental. Most now have been converted to a O-360 Lyc. 180HP or IO-360 200HP. This slide was printed backwards, read the name on the cowl.

 

Coachcraft built that wonderful Caddy.

Temco Swift. they bought the company from Globe.

 

Everyone loves a Bonanza!


Except for these three guys.

 

What a tragic day. I forget. Was it bad weather on takeoff that caused the crash?

 

bad weather the entire flight

 

The kid on the Big Wheel is probably dreaming of someday owning that Vette in the background.I know when i first saw a Vette in the fifties i wanted one.41 years later my dream came true.

 

The entire 3 min flight. the plane was found just off the end of the runway. Took off into a snow storm with an non instrument rated pilot. I read the story years ago in the AOPA Pilot mag, I feel for all including the pilot but it was his choice (a bad one) to take off. five more hours and it would have been clear.

 

Priceless satire of the early Universal Frankenstein movies!
Mel Brooks says that "Young Frankenstein" is his personal
favorite of ALL the comedies he's ever made -- which is a bunch!
These YF images are just a TINY sample of a fantastic site
for fans of Mel OR this movie. You can spend hours there;
just search for "Young Frankenstein" under " fanpop!"
(www.fanpop.com/spots/young-frankenstein/images/584484...)
A VERY special thanks to FanPop and to their member, "judesmommy"
who submitted many YF pix!

 

Loved it,We miss the good old days

 

Wait for the animation to load!

 

oh shit, where is the fuckin jack!! you dumd ass i told you to check everything!

 

Jimi,Did ya know Merle Haggard gave up his seat on that plane to I believe it was the Big Bopper,cuz he was sick?

 

I think it was Waylon Jennings. or so I heard.

 

well whoever, somebody was spared

 

As I recall, the reason Waylon was at the airport was that he was one of Buddy's "Crickets" band. Waylon never forgot that stroke of providence, either! It was over for those three guys. Waylon was the one who went on to a full life, a career as one of the Bad Boys of Country, plus a beautiful wife, Jessi Colter (with whom he did two Top-40 duets, BTW).

 

Hey Kieth,Is that an Ironworker?

Never again would Leslie Nielsen be taken seriously as an actor --
but what they hey! He said he had a blast doing comedy, here as
Det. Frank Drebin, "Police Squad," 1982 (of course, leading to the
box-office smash "Naked Gun" movie series). Photo THANKS to
IMDb, the Internet Movie Database!

 

Nielsen got his big break as the handsome leading man
opposite Debbie Reynolds' country bumpkin in "Tammy
and the Bachelor," 1957. The movie got off to slow box
office but was quickly re-released following Reynolds'
smash Gold Record of the movie song, "Tammy." With
a touch of '30s-comedy retro-charm, the movie made an
even bigger star of Reynolds, set Nielsen for a long career
in movies and TV and re-energized the career of film vet
Walter Brennan. Walter's role as Tammy's moonshiner
grandpa in "Tammy" may also have influenced his casting
as Amos McCoy in TV's long-running "The Real McCoy's."
Ad THANKS to gono.com (see hundreds of early ads).

 

Wow! Talk about MoPar "placement" in a Hollywood movie!
This is a shot from '57's "Tammy and the Bachelor." '56 DeSoto,
Belvedere, Newport (Windsor?) and a Royal or Coronet. Photo

Thanks Rik, knew you'd have the answer somewhere.
