[Land-speed] Not a quick question...

[Keith Turk]

Yeah JD....  I've had some of those same thoughts...  one of the things that 
prompted the question was a new Crocker engine being built by a friend of 
mine...

As for the Ryan... I agree it's pretty... but the Stagger wing Beach... or 
even better the Bee Gee Racer...  Virtually any of the sea plane racers.... 
and last but not least... ( okay this is two or more ... but you get the 
point ).... how bout a P 51,  Ah-1 Cobra ( hey I flew every model of 
these )....   Or a Lear...

You absolutely got the point thou JD....  I loved the 30's junk...  But was 
that truly the golden age?   As for Bikes... don't we have more independant 
builders today then ever? ( not that I particularly like what they are 
doing )
