  1. I would love to fly the DR1. The event of a lifetime.

    But going into combat in one? That took balz.

    1. If that wasn't on the other side of the continent, I'd mount up and pay a visit! Thanks for the link.

    2. Hit me, beat me, talk dirty to me, make me write bad cheques,....m-a-k-e me go fly that DR-1!!!!! Oh the joy!! 'Learned to fly in an old 1946 7AC "Airknocker" Champ!! Gotta' say though,"The DR-1 is still on top of the 'Gotta Fly' list!!" Don't forget the Left Coast has the Planes of Fame at Chino and right after Labor Day, "The Reno Air Races!!!!!" "And," if ya' really wanna "Fly," learn to Skydive and get a "Wingsuit!!!"
