Brass is Best Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Depends on the hill. Could probably get air at 50-60 mph. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md murray Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 Ha! -I think these pictures are amazing; incredible to see heavy old iron flying through the air like a modern rally car. Just ya know...at half the speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFitz Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Great picture ! Reminds me of my first ride in Wally McCarthy's 1910 Locomobile on what at first looked to be a level LI north shore estate lawn. Not sure if the Loco ever grabbed air, but I sure did !

C Carl Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) That guy looks tough enough to chain and walk a lion. I have a half-baked theory. Goes something like this : (The high unsprung weight + suspensions of the day) over the roads then encountered = good launch conditions. Can't pass the medical anymore, - Grounded Cadillac Carl P.S. CORRECTION, CORRECTION, CORRECTION !!!!!!!!! I have just been informed by a good forum friend that my "medical" statement may be taken to mean that I can not DRIVE anymore. I can sure see that since we are talking about cars which momentarily take to the air. I should have said "flight physical". No, I can not become current and FLY anymore. Literally grounded. I agree with, and totally accept that my left seat time is over. I can live with that since I never did buy a DC-6. Driving is another matter. - CC Edited October 7, 2019 by C Carl Corrected mathematical notation. And add P.S. (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Last words can get quite flowery and long winded when you look at them recorded. Some, like this situation, amount to only two. Probably how I will go out. Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 13 hours ago, padgett said: hought the most common were "oh sh*t". The guy in the first picture sure could be saying that between clenched teeth. It is also a great way to call a dachshund to pick up a few Wheaties I drop on the floor for him every morning. Makes me feel like Pavlov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
