There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Yep, made in North America; photographed in South America; apparently now in New Zealand. This is the prototype Transland AG-2 when it was CX-AYC. Suds to Kevin.
So what will be the next aeronautical mystery from Texas. A Gibson Flying V2?

Fender Stratovercaster more likely

Ahhh, takes me back to my student days in the early 60's when I used to drool over full-page Fender ads in Downbeat. Trouble was, even if you could afford them (I couldn''t), it was impossible to buy American instruments in those days.
Many years later, when times (and finances!) had changed, I went a different route.....(it's an original '73)

Was (and still is, I think, even though he has sold his topdressing business) owned by Hallett Griffin of Kairanga Aviation, along with some other very nice ag planes.

The AG-2 is now under cover and there is some talk of a restoration to airworthy status. Some interesting stuff here, including contributions from the families of people involved in the original project. Do any of you know if this has ever been modelled for flightsim?

So we've got lead and rhythm guitars - where are the bass, the drums and the Vox AC-30s?

Guitars and planes... hmmm...
So what guitar did Jerry Cantrell use? 'cause Jerry is from Tacoma. So is (sort of...) Robert Cray, who prefers Fender Stratocasters.
However, though they have both travelled extensively, I think neither has seen a Lockheed Explorer like the "City of Tacoma".

Thanks Kevin! (there's a faint ghost of a Lockheed logo under the cockpit - thanks for the hint, too.)
So If I bang my head on the desk whilst screaming in frustration could we make it a grunge band (that'd be your vocals and drums)
Here's a seedy little critter that, in another form, made an appearance here some years ago. I liked it not so much for it's aesthetics but it has quite a nice story attached - to be revealed later.

You don't see many of those out in the wild as they had a very short run. Interesting.

...... indeed its a rare beast - never seen another one ........
....... on with the mystery, its not from Tibet, but sounds as if it might be ......
Well it can't be a Yeti, because that is a Skoda car. It can't be a Lama because that is a helicopter .... unless it just reincarnated as a helicopter. Nope, think I'm stumped on this one.
