    1970's Flying Club Photos

    Those photos do bring back memories of flying 150's and 172's in the '70's. Avgas was under $1 a gallon! It was a fairly affordable hobby back then.

    Buy New, Vintage or Victorian Home?

    May you have many comfortable years in your "New" house. I noticed the electric service is 100amp which is not necessarily a disadvantage if you don't have more than he usual home appliances.

    Buy New, Vintage or Victorian Home?

    Stearmen, the turret on the 2 storey house does have a victorian look. If the stone facade had covered the entire front, the victorian "flavor" would have been more convincing.

    A-2 & G-1 Flight Jackets

    What isn't creeping up in value? Well made originals sometimes are still better bargains than some of the worn repros.

    The Tile House

    No doubt the cost to tile the exterior is prohibitive to anyone who does not own a tile company.

    Show us your vintage home!

    If you really want the house and don't mind some dust and inconvenience while renovating, it can be a satisfying experience. Having renovated a Queen Anne over a 15 year period, I can say it is all worth it in the end.

    I’ve been watching Air Aces on the Military Channel and…

    Many of the British seemed to have favored having the garrison cap so far over to one side that it looked like it had to be pinned on to keep from sliding off.

    Did G-1s Get Larger?

    My first G-1 was issued during primary at Pensacola in 1974. I remember remarking to the clerk that it seemed a bit roomy, but his response was that they had orders to issue the jacket 2 sizes larger than the flight suit. We were also told that they were made of Naugahyde(?)

    The Streetcar/Trolley/Tram/Electric Railway Thread

    Swing Motorman, Thanks for your detailed response to the question of rail use vs. paved roads. We, too, in Mifflin County were relieved when Amtrak was given a reprieve and allowed to continue servicing our Lewistown station. I commend you for your passion with trolleys. The younger...

    Buy New, Vintage or Victorian Home?

    Perhaps before tackling a new project in which one has no experience, it would be wise to ask for assistance from a friend who has done such work before and learned a few lessons. I did that when refinishing a wood floor, and appreciated some guidance along the way.

    The house that time forgot: family home frozen in the 1920s for 70 years

    Thanks for posting the link. What a nice look back into history. The simple life required more work around the house and really meant less time available for other interests.

    Please judge fit of my new A2

    If you like roomy, it looks to be fine without being overly baggy. Being able to wear a sweater underneath can be appreciated when the temps drop below comfortable. Enjoy the jacket.

    Aloofness in Re-enactment.

    I appreciate all the experiences being shared. As a spectator at any re-enactment I want to learn as much about the period as possible. The re-enactors who explain equipment, and admit that some repro gear may not be accurate are being honest. I admire anyone willing to spend time and $ to...

    Thanks for the article. It is good to hear that a museum values history enough to take care of a rare find.
