crop duster

This moring I was in the corn crib and i heard this loud engine roring over me and I looked out and this crop duster was flying so low over us that you could see the pilot! (but the plane's bottom side was twards me so you couldnt see it. but if it was turned around, you could have seen him.) so i scrambled into the house and grabbed the camera and started snaping pictures.

sorry for the poor quality of the pictures....

climbin' trees

the tree

the tree and me going uphalf way up
all the way up, annie zoomed up so it doesent look like im that high

we have the coolest climbing tree in our front yard. it has its drawbacks though, its pine juce is as sticky as tar, its kinda prickley and its real shakey when the wind blows if your up high enough. here are some pictures of me climbing and from top of the tree.

this post is manely for the buckmasters because i dont think any body else really wants to know about our models.

The locals get dirty

on doing chores, we always let the dog out. well he was playing in our huge muck puddle. Annie was out taking pictures of him. I saiys to myself, 'well, if sammy is having fun, why cant I?' so i roll up my pants and wade in. well after awhile, my pants started to get wet, so i just got more wet. annie took a super funny video of me doing a belly flop that you have to se!!! well mom wasn't that happy, but after about a gallon of shampoo and 2 bars of soap, we were sparkling. I dont think that we will be mud wading any time soon, but we had fun while it lasted!!!!!!

hows all y'alls doin'??

hi everyone in blogland!!! i just wanted a update on all the things you have been doing. Even in the boringest measure. well gtg.

Models

here is the A6M2 zero type 21 this plane

was seen over pearl harbor. versions of the zero

were continued to be made until the war ended.

10,449 were built.

here is the mustang p-51D some say it was the best

American fighter plane in WWII. it had 2 belly tanks which gave it a couple hundred more miles of flight.

here is the tiger shark p-40B; if you didn't notice, it got a new paint job from the last time we posted about it. While pearl harbor was being attacked, the Americans had little time or opportunity to take to the air and fight back. some were shot down while taking off. however, two aviators that had two tiger sharks away from the battle scene took off and took several planes down. they would've gotten medals, but they didn't because they acted without orders.

here is the corsair F4U-l . it was a maritime attack plane that was carrier based. It could carry torpedoes to destroy enemy ships. its top speed was over 400 mph and its performance even exceeded the famed mustang in many ways.
here is the super marine spitfire mark II. this plane was the best of the British fighters. The mark II's arch-rival in air was the Messerschmitt 109.

here is the heinkel He 111h bomber. It could carry 2 torpedoes on its belly or 2 bombs. It had 2 junkers jumo 1,200 hp engines, one top turret gunner and one belly gunner, and even a nose gunner. this medium bomber was a good match up for any single engine fighter plane like the mark II and the hurricane.

here are the planes all together. sorry about Andrew's arm. we couldn't fit all of them on the table.

As you know in Andrew's previous post about working for Mr.Rhode, he gave us models in return. So here are some pictures and a little description of Andrew's and my models he has given us in the past week. If you were wondering what the 'p' stood for in 'p-51D', it stands for pursuit.

who needs a four wheeler??????

The fun all started at our old David City house when our neighbors gave us a little tykes add on trailer to a bigger wagon. I don't know how I got the idea for my chariot as I call it, but I'm glad I had that idea. Now I did make a few successful runs with Sammy as my propellant at the old house. I remember one run that I ran into our fence post while our neighbors were sitting on their front porch!!!! The chariot sat forgotten in the garage for awhile until a few months ago, I got it out and tried it. Today I wanted to have some fun with shmozen (my nickname for Sammy) So I got out the harness and the power wagon (another name for my chariot) and made a few runs when Annie came out to do her chores. I asked her to get the camera so she could take a few pictures of me and my power wagon. So we did, and then I suggested we use a old camera stand in the garage. So we drug it out and used it in our filming. With Annie as the photographer and me at the cariot seat and Andrew at the end calling samson, we took some great pictures and a video you have to view at the bottom of the page because I coudn't put on the post you HAVE to see it!!!
