In fact this is the personal plane of Professor Kurt Von Humbrol.
 It was reported to have a maxium ceiling of 2 feet when it got up to speed and was driven over a speed hump. Its a Sopwith Drongo.

Mystery Plane
Sorry fellas, It is definitely a postwar Russian model. This plane, the fabled "Revoltionary Shooting Star," was the first aircraft to come out of Lennin's infamous five-year industrialization plans. Please note the combine engine and smoke stack coupled with the heavy-duty landing gear that slightly resembles a Model T Ford.
These babies took about eight miles of runway or completely level fields to get airborne but once afloft could get nearly 20 pounds of wheat from the the straving peasants in Bellorussia to Moscow in less than nine hours! When the counter revolutionary Trotsky realized the gaint drain this secret aircraft program was having on the Worker's Paradise's economy, he quietly but wisely shipped them to the American Midwest where they thrilled airshow crowds as barnstromers for years to come. Don't feel bad guys, any novice could have made the same mistakes in this somewhat tricky identification. Your old pal, Roadhog "Memento mori." Last edited by Roadhog; 12 August 2005 at 02:59 PM. |

Sorry For the Double Posts
Sorry for the double posts folks, It is an old wrist injury/condition that dates back to 1962 when I first discovered my older brother's stash of Playboys. And yes Von Reichel, I have already applied for medical disability. Roadhog "Memento mori."
