A Vickers Vimy.
This particular airplane is a replica. It flew the Atlantic in 2005 to recreate the first ever nonstop flight across the Atlantic.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
IIRC it was at Oshkosh in the early 2000's. I don't remember it having that jet like takeoff performance though. Hopefully they were paid by the hour for the Atlantic crossing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this, fascinating aircraft. Looks like it needs continuous full power (and quite a bit *landing*) with all that drag.

Definitely NOT what you see every day! Thanks!
