Don't know how to put this in a poll way, plus it is mainly a suggestion to the Flyer team.
What would pilots think of a regular or semi regular feature on aeroplanes to be found in the dark corners of hangars at various airports?
I am still on a high from my UK weekend, still trying to digest all the wonderful aeroplanes I saw. And the best weren't those seen at Duxford (execpt maybe the Rapide).
Poking my nose in a couple of hangars at North Weald, I saw a P51, a Staggerwing, a Hunter, a Gnat.
And walking into the hangar at Leicester was like being a kid in a sweet shop. So many different, strange, original winged creatures were hiding in the shadows. Such a variety, so much to be discovered, admired, touched and questioned. I could have spent the whole weekend in the hangar, if it wasn't that half the aeroplanes were outside flying and I wanted to see them in the air.
Coming from Italy, where choice and magical aircraft are limited,
I realize that this may not be so interesting for most of you that often share hangar space with something special.
But then again I have seen lots of pilots who only know about the existence of the aeroplane they fly and often can't even identify the most common models, let alone the older wonders of aviation.
It is just a thought.
