Blue Texas skies and warbirds, what a great combination
for good times at the Annual Bomber Field Warbird Meet |
|
|
Mr. Bomber Field, BB Weber, shows his latest four
engine project. This Connie is built from Don Smith plans and is powered
by four OS 91 engines. BB will use two Futaba receivers and four batteries
to keep things airborne. |
|
| A look inside Mr. Weber's hangar/workshop. Be careful, drool will
ruin your keyboard. |
|
Does your hangar house some B-17's, a Russian Bear, a Connie, a B-29,
assorted single engine warbirds and a couple of civi fliers and the room
to show them off all put together and neatly arranged? |
 |
"This is a B-25 flown by Mr. Larry Smith of Kenner
Louisiana.
Really good looking, and fantastic sound." (Twinman)
|
| Larry brings his B-25 in for a smooth landing on the
Bomber Field main runway. |

"This Hanger Nine P-51 flies like a
sport plane", says the proud owner Mr. Wiley Brown. He should know,
as he is not only a hobbyist, but owns a local Houston Hobby shop, and
is a Continental Intercontinental pilot himself. The plane has a Saito
100 that is, per Mr. Brown, the perfect power source for this plane. Says
that it has none of the heavy flight, landing, and snap roll problems
of other warbirds." (Twinman) |
| The World Miniature Warbird Association was represented
by their East Texas Squadron. |

"Want to win a flying model of a B-17. You can get a chance
for two bucks.....OK so you have to add the receiver and balance it,
but I would risk the inconvenience!!!
How about a 1/4 scale P-51 Mustang kit....same possibilty....if you
are into single engine planes!!" (Twinman) |
"This is one of Mr. BB Weber's numerous bombers,
a B-17. This plane uses on board starters on OS 70 four stroke engines.
It is an American Eagle model that sports a 10'6" wing and weighs
46 lbs." (Twinman) |
|
 |
"Sid Orsack with his P-51 and Corsair. With washout built into
the wing, he drops the flaps and landing gear and makes one of the slowest
flybys I have ever seen."
(Daryl A. Pickett)
|
Mr. Grant Wilson of Tulsa Oklahoma and helpers
start all six engines on his B-36. |
|
 |
Grant's B-36 comes in for a landing after another successful flight.
Grant has two of these bombers and says they are basically scratch built
using an old Kyosho control line kit as a guide.

A great Texas event and thank you Twinman for these beautiful pictures.
