As a cadet, I had the opportunity to ride with the Wing LO in a T-34 several times.  Of course, I also got to ride in T-29s as well.  You younguns will have to google those as they disappeared before you were born..

V/R,

Lt Col Ninness,

All the pictures you keep showing are showing up as pretty red X's... 

Is there any way I can fix this?

Whoops! My bad!

Here are the red X photos re-attached:

Thanks much, sir!

A CAP UH-1... interesting!  I didn't know CAP flew helicopters.

Allof the helicopters currently in use by CAP are painted black and operate out of NHQ.  One is hovering over my house right no...........................................Aaarrrrggghhhh!

OK..What the history on the CAP Huey?  And the tandem seat red and white.  Are you sure thats not another clever Photoshop?  Im not aware of CAP ever flying turbines, not to mention a Huey.  The Huey paint scheme bears a striking resemblence to the Presidential Support Helos with HMX-1.  An the fixed wing.  CAP aircraft have civilian tail numbers.  That airplane has a military style tail number. 

Sorry, not buyin it.

Where's Tedda when you need him?   

The H-1 has definitely been 'Shopped. I can't tell on the other two. Maybe Tedda can tell.

Covered by DMAT and DMORT. Anyone ever explored an MOU with these teams?

Several of us have tried, but they weren't able to budge under FEMA. Now that DMAT has moved back to HHS, we might have a fighting chance.

As I stated earlier, the T-34 is real.  I flew in them back in the early/mid 70s.  They were considered high-performance aircraft as I recall, so the number of folks that were even allowed to fly it was small.  Typically the LO and senior pilots were about it; at least in my neighborhood..

V/R,

Im not disputing that CAP may have had a few T-34's, but I dont think CAP ever had the T-34C which is what the photo is.  The "C" is a turbine.  I highly doubt CAP has ever had aircraft that burn Jet-A.

I'll never tell.

here are a couple more of the graphics that I snagged from one of those sites\

The first one is the one I originally asked Ace Browing if he had in his collection...

It came off one of those "special ops" sites, not sure which one. 

Here is another I had saved, too... (as I dig thru 3 hard drives trying to find photos I hoarked from a website three years ago..)

If I remember the figures CAP had 50 T-34's.  One was to go to each Wing, but several Wings turned them down so a few Wings ended up with two. I saw somewhere last year that there was still one T-34 in the CAP inventory in one of the Southwest Wings. But it was rumored to be going to a air museum

The T-34s had a wing spar issue that basically rendered them unflyable without expensive one-time and recurring inspections.

There is a company that offered a wing spar replacement, but I seem to recall that the cost was more than I spent on the last three cars I've owned.

Ahhhhh, the Sky Master.  What a machine.
