Interesting aviation history from Hawaii
I had a post up with a pic or two of a P-82, the twin Mustang.
here are pix of "Betty Jo"
The Betty Jo took off from Hickam Field on the island of Oahu, on February 27, 1947 and flew some 5,000 miles to Laguardia in New York City non-stop and with no air-to-air fueling in 14 hours and 33 minutes.
Here it is in it's hanger at Hickam field
right now it's sitting in The National Museum of the United States Air Force, in Dayton, Ohio.
one of 5 P-82's still in existance.

The Red Gladiator
Hot Dock, Keiji Kawakita's shop in Japan builds some insane shit.
This is the Red Gladiator, it's a bit over the top as far as my tastes go, but damn there is so much killer work in this bike is scary.
That and th fact that he started it for me at his shop, HOLY CRAP, this fucker sounds like a hot rod big twin that revs like an XR flattracker, fuckin sweet!!!!
He is also in the S&S 50th build off, can't wait to see what he's building!

This is the stuff dreams are made of...
Randy Smith, my hero of casting chopper parts, the pioneer of cast chopper parts.
Here's the first set of finned dishpans of Randy's, with the risers still attached.
The receipt says from March 1968.
Too Cool! 40 years ago!
