  1. That looks like EAA Oshcosh, would have been '85 or '86. Yeah, I was there. It was a British Airways plane. Fuel burn on that plane was outrageous.

  2. Was on Waikiki Beach when one of those landed in Honolulu. It really made a racket.

  6. Sadly though, the Valkyrie met an untimely end. RIP Carl Cross and Joe Walker (F104 pilot).
