Art & Inspiration Things with WINGS

Nice! I have been trying to find the second one for years since 'Rocky' had one.

Who makes those?
I'd really like to get one.

 

Wings are cool....

 

The gold leaf logo painted on the cowl of my rpu, and the winged V-8 emblem I made for my seat back.

Yes, as a matter of fact it is an Isetta 300.

 

My friend made the pattern, I made a mold for lost wax, and had two cast in Sterling Silver. We cut up the mold and pattern. Sorry, no more.

 

They are awesome!
Great job.

 

My buddy is doing the wiring on his A coupe and i spotted this tonight. The tag inside says Feb 4 1963, it has a cool stamped wing with a green lense. The slot lets a rubber wheel stick through and an arm rubs it to self cancel.

 

Here are some wing nuts i made awhile back.

 

I forgot about my winged V8 logo for my aircleaner that I made from a Plymouth trunk badge 36ish? and a modern V8 hat pin sold at all the flea markets.

 

Things with wings? These are some of my old rides..........











And the one thing I treasure above all? The one Winged thing I still have one off.....

Hey Doc is that high wing a Caribou?

 

Grumbler that is indeed a DeHavilland Canada 'BooBoo. Man I loved those things and jumped from them on many occasions, almost cryed when they were retired!!

Leaving a Caribou.

Thats awesome Doc although us engineers always wonder why anyone would jump out of a perfectly serviceable airplane ! In the DeHavilland world I've worked and flown on the DHC-2 Beaver, DHC-3 Otter, DHC-6 Twin Otter, DHC-7 Dash 7, DHC-8 Dash 8. The 7 was my favourite. Elegant and tough as nails

 

love the chook shot....hueys were built to get shot down,,,but the chook is a god awfull version of horsepower overcoming gravity,,,nice photos....

 

Thanks guy's, I took most of those pics while I was staff at the Army Parachute School at NAS Nowra or at Jervis Bay Range Facility(JBRF) where we did a lot of free fall (All the DHC3 pics were at JB).
Jumped out of DHC-2 Beaver, DHC-3 Otter and the DHC-6 Twin Otter. Man is it a rush!

Had a love affair with the Chooks, and loved doing AME with the Huey, man I miss it all.

Doc.

EDIT: Perfectly Serviceable? You don't know the RAAF that well huh!!................

 

Thanks Doc!

 

This is a very cool thread----

 

Sorry, all I got.........................

 

love the chooks as well,,,my cousin was the loady on the chook that crashed into perserverance dam,,,,,,,only just caught up with him the other day,,nearly 30 years since we met last time,,,,i was only a kid,,,,now hes grilling me for chopper stories!!!!!...........servicable is open to interpretation!

 

That was A15-001 that went into Perseverance in 85. The ADF's very first Chook! The hulk is now at.....well it was...at Amberly as a training aid, used it a few times doing Aviation Medicine courses for crash-rescue training.
Here is a pic of it in Perseverance Dam, thanks to ADF-serials.com.

I saw this winged thing in an old issue of Speed Mechanics mag.

 

1957 300SL Gullwing

 

I have heard stories (dont know how true) of "batwings" integrated into certain suspension/steering systems .... this could be another "endless thread" LOL

 

A couple of winged things I painted..

 

Kim's Kitchen Kollection. Looks great on top of the microwave.

 

How about this?

 

Not much tops Jim Halls wing things but here is my Chevrolet Viking hood ornament. The wings have been cut back to remove some damage.
