Hi guys,

Don't post much up here and I haven't a clue how to take a decent photo but still enjoy taking them none the less. Awesome 3 weeks in the US recently. Here are a few of the aviation highlights. Slightly off topic, but kind of relevant, a few snaps also from Cape Canavarel. Incredible place to visit.
Having flown in a Tiger into Oshkosh in 2012, visited Pearl Harbor last year, and done Reno this year along with some other sites/attractions, slowly working through a bit of a bucket list. The rest will take a while yet though.

The pics from Reno are nothing that anyone hasn't heard of or seen photos of before, and as I said my photography skills are rubbish but hey. Didn't know where to start so just posted some of the stuff that interested me the most - there were a lot of neat machines that were tucked away in all corners of the airfield.
Firing an MG15, now that is aviation related, what a monster that was. I can see why German bomber crews felt that these things gave them a sense that they had some sort of protection over Europe...

Hope these photos attach properly..

regards
Andy

Way cool getting to fire off that MG15! Love the Harpoon (WW2 bomber not the missle!).

However is everyone else also finding about half the photos won't load and there's a square icon instead?

And then eight more at the bottom of that post under the PV-2 Harpoon.

Yep , same for me . ( the ones I can see are great though )

Dear Warner Brothers: Now that I'm an adult, I feel I'm old enough to hear what the "Beep Beep" is hiding when Road Runner talks to Wile E. Coyote.
