I also succumb to an adrenaline rush around Fighter Planes.

I think that the majority of posts here are peoples interests and hobbies, NOT guilty pleasures.
A guilty pleassure is something you enjoy, but wold be too embarassed to tell anyone else.

For example (not me, just an example): You like dancing to Abba with your cat.

Rick is a fine keyboard player, a shining example of 70's rock excess, and an all around cool Englishman sort of chap. What's to be ashamed of?

Well... for starters, this:

Rick crops up on TV now and again over here. He was recently complaining quite bitterly about how his daughter and her friends dress. He thinks it's over the top. Excuse me? Reality check!!! :lol:

(He did have good fingers, though. Six Wives of Henry the Eighth: that's my guilty pleasure. :) )

Cheers - C

Ceri -- I have that album, too . . . but it's in storage 1,400 miles away!! :wink:

Yep...

It is either a Curtiss P-40B or C Tomahawk or a Curtiss P-40D Kittyhawk , as opposed to the US Curtiss P-40 Warhawk (all variants).

These were given to the British and the Soviet Union as part of the Lend-Lease Act. China, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, France, Brazil, Egypt, Finland and Turkey also acquired and operated the Curtiss P40. Even the Imperial Japanese Army operated 12 captured P-40s in Burma until 1943.

It was used primarily as a ground attack aircraft by the DAF (Desert Air Force) because it lacked the 2-stage supercharger necessary for high-altitude performance. It was renoun for it's ability to absorb combat damage and remain flying.

The P-40 Warhawk was also made famous by the 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG); better known as the "Flying Tigers" of the Chinese Air Force. The Flying Tigers claimed a 297/4 Kill/Loss air-to-air combat record.

The P-40 was one of two aircraft to score air-to-air kills during the attack on Pearl Harbor, and was the aircraft used by the first US pilot to become an Ace in WWII.

In all, just shy of 14,000 aircraft were produced between 1940 and 1944 at the Curtiss plant in Buffalo, NY with the British/Soviets/others receiving approx. 6500 of them.

Interestingly, all the aircraft in the photo are US Made aircraft (Curtiss P-40 -Tomahawk, North American P-51 - Mustang, North American F-86 Sabre Jet, McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F/A-18 Hornet) except the one on the bottom which is a British-made English Electric Canberra, but which was also produced under license for the US Air Force by Martin Aviation and was known as the B-57 Canberra Bomber.

cheers!

My guilty pleasure: listening to They Might Be Giants' first three albums. I know all the chords and all the lyrics.

I am not proud of this.

Begging your pardon nugget, but that aircraft at the 9 o'clock position is a Gloucester Meteor, the RAF's first operational turbine-powered fighter. It was designed and developed in the early '40s then deployed in combat during the closing months of WWII. The Canberra was about three times the size of that F/A-18 lawn dart.

Arjay,

Of course you're correct about it being a Meteor. The B-57 was more prominent in my Target Identification classes than the Meteor was... ;)

But, it wasn't deployed in combat, it was part of the Home Air Defense, based at RAF Manston in Kent and was used for downing German V1 Flying Bombs.

It had a nasty habit of experiencing Turbine Stall in tight maneuvers (original Whittle Power Jets W.1 engine). Also, it's 4 nose-mounted Hispano 20mm cannons were prone to jamming, and it was an extremely innefficient airframe which was easily outmaneuvered - bad stuff in Injun Country.

14 aircraft were operated by RAF No. 616 Squadron. 616 Sqdn. was forbidden to fly the Meteor on combat missions over German-held territory for fear of an aircraft being shot down and salvaged by the Germans.

It didn't see combat until 1950 in Korea (now equipped with RR engines) when 3 RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) Sqdns. were deployed there. It's primary role was ground attack, once again due to it's poor maneuverability.

cheers!

The Air Ministry classified those sorties as "combat missions".

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's a duck.

QUACK QUACK!

Another guilty pleasure--

Luigi's Real Italian Ice...they're made in New Jersey, so there might actually be some Italians in them :shock:

The mango flavored ones are my favorite.
