JensenPark Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 sorry for the quality of the photos...I used our work camera...and it's an old 3.1 and it was a blistering sunny day... cockpit obviously...me in the pilot's seat looking back from the pilot's seat. Quote
MadTrooper Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 WOW, Jensenpark, thanks for sharing those pics. They are great and you really take us for a good tour of the AC. Thanks again. Quote
Enforcer57 Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Great shots despite the difficult lighting. Can see lots of detail...........(and you look like one of those mormon guys I keep seeing on bicycles around here btw). The views are very familiar to me. Interesting that it's an early model wiht the aft turret. 20 yrs ago, I was the semi official photog for the former Air Acres museum at Cartersville Ga. I flew w3iht them to several airshows on their C-47,but I did get one flight on thier Nicely restored B-25J, which had almost everything but the top turret. The tunnel to the nose was definitely a real bitch, but I spent the flight in the waist positions which had replica 50s with enclosed swivel mounts. This is the AC after we returned from Titusville one yr. The markings are totally wrong for a post war bird btw. I had the choice to fly in the 25 and do pix of other museum planes, or fly on them and shoot the 25. Though I would rather have had the 25 shots, I just had to fly on the Mitchell. I'm glad I did. I shot the s-2, C-1, and an SNJ, as well as a Beech C-45 from the open escape hatch in hte back. As we headed back to the field, I crawled into the tail gunners position, and knelt there as there Quote
delta7 Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 no wonder Yassorian was shitey scared in catch 22 , crawling through a tunnel under the pilot to a glass dome and sitting there over the target as the flak came up Quote
GreyKnight Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Nice pix again JP, but that pix of you under the turret... oh my! Quote
JensenPark Posted September 4, 2009 Author Posted September 4, 2009 Will you be my Smithers GK? Quote
Jediteo Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Nice tie, and also the plane is pretty. Too bad they have no turret mechanism. (JP: Greyknight, rub my brain) Quote
Enforcer57 Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 If I remember correctly, there was no way to get out of the nose other than crawling thru the tunnel. NO WAY anyone could do that in Quote
