This was in MSNBC's photos of the week for last week.  It's firebombers in Canada lining up to do fill-ups.  Pretty cool.

Those fire bombers look like they have some British design in them.  Is it wrong that at first glance I envisioned them in FAA temperate camo schemes?  :mellow:  Any more info on the type of aircraft?

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

The National Naval Aviation Museum page on Facebook is turning out to be a treasure trove of historical tidbits, especially regarding carrier aviation.   Here are a few more I found:

F4U-4 Corsairs aboard USS Princeton during the Korean War.  The story is that they didn't have the fuel to reach their base, USS Boxer, so they landed on the nearest carrier.



USS Essex after conversion to an angled-deck antisubmarine carrier.



Carrier Air Wing 9 aboard USS Enterprise in 1965, off the coast of Vietnam.  Note the mail piled behind the COD aircraft.

Interesting pics of the F4U-4 Corsairs.  Looks like they've been graphittied.

Found this one on Airliners.net, Draken at the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum (Museum of Military History) in Vienna.  Love the contrast of the modern & classic, along with the red colours of the building & reflected image.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
