Of course I didn't take this beautiful sunset but as you know it is one of my favorites to shoot.!!!!

Most of us have seen such as this many times.. Millions of such.

We did not use all the antennas shown.

DC-3 Radio antennas

High frequency (HF) is the ITU designation for the range of radio frequency electromagnetic waves (radio waves) between 3 and 30 MHz. It is also known as the decameter band or decameter wave as its wavelengths range from one to ten decameters (ten to one hundred metres).

How to Use the ADF Radio.

An Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) is used for exactly what it says: to find the direction of not only a radio source (i.e: a radio tower), but also to use the bearings (locations) of two radio sources and the headings (directions of travel) of their signals in order to pinpoint the location of the aircraft receiving them.[1]

ADF antenna on our DC-3

Drop by the CR SMITH museum and I " Randy" will give you a Flight Engineer walk around on our DC-3.... We will get HER ready to FLY.

The Douglas DC-3 being fueled at Nashville Tn. It holds 621 gallons of 91 octane. Thanks Bob for sending the great picture. This could easily be a photo taken of ME.I fueled many DC-3 like this one many times.

I hope you got the e-mail Dino sent us about the 707.. Heavy smoke caused by water injection. This was before FANS were placed on the Jet engines.

The maximum power a turbine engine can output depends largely upon the ... output can be boosted or restored by cooling the airflow with water or coolant. ... the turbine results in an increase in pressure in the jet pipe, giving additional thrust.

OUR STARTERS !!!

Our addition to the CRS is a great model of the famous Boeing 707.

The right engine exhaust .. This is where we get heat for the cabin.

Stand back JOHN we are about to start engines.

Here we have ROSIE the RIVETER...WW-2

Guess who this might be if you can you are good.
