I had to literally tell AARP to go to he.l and leave me alone. They finally got the message.

Angus - Hereford cross. There - I fixed it. Don't want to go pc jail.

Getcha some black baldies that don't have any horns and will finish at 1000 pounds.

Good one.

I can see why you said Dornier. The "flying pencil" DO17 had such a skinny fuselage that wasn't much bigger than the booms on a Lightning.

Speaking of P38s, this is a great story:

Don't know. Haven't belonged for many years, and haven't kept up with them.
-
I'll bet there were lots of unemployed pilots about then. Probably lots of 'em became crop dusters, too.
-
That would be a logical answer to an old mystery.
-
Looks like a P38 to me.

That's a subject I never even seriously considered, other than test pilots. There are / were so many ways to die in wartime that aren't directly related to combat. Other than the deaths of a few relatives, I've never had a really bad day. And I'm thankful for it.

I'd guess an 18 year old then was more mature than many men of any age now.

Hey Mike - send me a p.m. if you would. Have a couple of questions for you.

Pretty sure the 886 was rated at 85, just like the 766.
-
Many of us do that. I had an uncle who was a mechanic at some airfield in the Philippines. No combat but came home with fungus in his ears that he never got rid of.

Chokes a guy up, aye?

Yeah, there are lots of pics of burning Libs. I'd seen several of those, but there are a bunch of new to me pics in this video.
-
Lots of pictures I've never seen before - some of them are really amazing.

Two years ago right about now. I learned an awful lot from that thread.

As I remember, OSHA required a factory ROPS for tractors above 80 hp, and the 886 was rated at 85. So they de-rated the D358 in the 886 to run 80 hp and called it a 786. I could very well be wrong on a detail or two, but I know both tractors weighed about the same.

How 'bout one of these?
-
That's what I always understood too. Anyone know of any difference (besides the decal) between a cabbed 786 and an 886 with a D358?
