Just got home after spending a month in Texas helping my baby bro out at his place of business : "Gary's Aircraft Service"...Llano Municiple airport....
(6R9/AQO). He's one of the best A&P-IA's in the Texas Hill Country.....
In my spare time I took some pics of aircraft based there/or stopping in to get gas or visit "Cooper's BBQ"........
Can you "ID" them all ?????View attachment 82086

Plane 1: That plane is a Daddy Warbucks 1400, and used to belong to a wealthy CEO...who must now use public transportation due to the general angst that the American populace has over multi-million dollar bonuses during these hard economic times.

Plane 2: Flumdiddlehopper 14RT, a very rare plane built by blind monks in the late 1930s. It has been said that this was the prettiest plane they never saw.

Plane 3: Texarkana T-5....a cheap knock off of the North American T-6 Texan, frequently sold by shifty guys in dark alleys....it looks like a real T-6, but does not have the diamond at the top of the compass.

Plane 4: Wiredodger Special...built especially for use in areas with a lot of high tensile power lines.

Plane 5: Sheep Dog O-2: Used primarily by Montana wool ranchers, this plane was known for its amazing short field ability and the fact that the prop blades could be used to do the spring shearing.

Plane 6: Cinderblock Eagle. This plane, while once a working aviation marvel, is now only seen resting on masonry, usually with the wheels off, and being used as either a dog house or as a storage shed. Most of these planes ended up in the Appalachian Region of the United States.

Plane 7: Extra 500. Built by the chewing gum company of the same name, this plane has a reputation for lasting a long time.

Plane 8: Saginaw Screw, named thus due to this plane's tendency to dive nose first into the ground.

Plane 9: Ginsu 1000. A failed attempt by Communist China to make unlicensed fakes of the Blackhawk. The Ginsu 1000 was equipped with a main rotor made of the same metal used in Chinese made wrenches, with the result being that upon landing the rotor blades would flex downward and turn the occupants of the helo into chop suey.

Plane 10: That is either a Vondalahu Vulture or a Yugo Express...the main difference, which can not be clearly seen in this picture, is that the Yugo Express only has 3 cylinder engines and carries the spare tire on top of the carburator.
