Who Wants to See My Bird

Post by phillyfan »

It's a bit bent and it does'nt get up like it use too, but it still gets the job done.
Here's a picture of it.

Nice airplane, Br*nt, but ... isn't it a little weird flying something twice your age? You were born in what, 1980 (?) so you're around 24, and it was made in 1950, so it's now 54 years old.

I guess it's a matter of taste, but isn't that a wee bit like having s*x with your mother's friends?

Isn't that the best kind? They usually have much more experience and character.

Hey ndb. Do I know you? Thanks for the compliment, but i'm 29. Hey there's nothing wrong with riding a 54 year old as long as she's well maintained.

The photo with the two yellow ones...is the other OBV? (I couldn't quite make it out) I knew it when it was orange and white.
Glad to see OCV painted as a Beaver should be.
Bee-yoo-tee-ful!

Yep the one in the back is OBV. Both are painted the same. The only difference is OCV has the Pratt and Whitney sticker on the left side just behind the cowling.
