They look like they might need some help climbing over a fence or something.

Since page 41 I've been trying. Thought I was set for 82. I've given up on trying to hit the number.

still can't see any cars in the picture. Especially the Ram air lambo door WS6. There is no mullet big enough.

More curious to how far this is from so cal so that I can grab one to go.

Some of those shipping boxes look so old that it's possible your car came over here in one of them..

The funny thing is, those boxes are probably less rusty than the car . If you look closely you can see where the entire bottom half of the doors is pure bondo

In 92 I got my first chance to go on the flight line at Oshkosh. (very big deal)And I saw this: Yes, it was a Gee Bee doing aerobatics, and not killing hte Pilot. I got to meet Delmar Benjamin a few years later. Nice guy and a hell of an aviator.

ROFL! Didn't see it until you mentioned it. It does look like the gaps at the bottom are a lil *wavey" doesn't it? Actually I was looking at the blisters on the rear fenders because my daughter's boyfriend had a Civic with the same thing when I first met him. I surpressed my laughter when he had me help him install a new stereo in it, I knew the poor thing wouldn't last more than another 2yrs or so...

Wow! Original Gee Bee, or a (ligher weight) recreation?

Doesn't matter, I suppose...that's some dang good flying.

100% replica. I think Delmar added inverted fuel pickups for pics like this. He got the blessings of the Granville Brothers head designer Pete Miller.

Just goes to show that all those lame documentaries saying how the Gee Bees were un-flyable were complete BS. The damn thing could do knife edges for god sake.

It just took exceptional pilots to fly them. You know, like Jimmy Doolittle.
