If you love vintage airplane design, this hour's random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro will get your engine revved up.

Not my shot (wish it was tho) of an Aeronca Chief poking along at 77 mph over a cloud deck, into a gorgeous sunset.

The panel is so great...almost a work of art. And those yokes...or are they called "steering wheels?" Retro design FTW!

N60LJ, LearJet 60, on static display at Farnborough Air Show, 25th June 1994.

The different styles of winglets used on RyanAir’s Boeing 737-8AS’s are shown to good effect – on the right, the inner, white face of the standard winglet contrasts with the newer “Scimitar” winglet of later models, with both up- and down-turned lobes.

Aeronca 7AC Champion This colourful example of the Aeronca breed is seen here at Sanford Seacoast Regional Airport, Maine, USA. The 7AC was produced postwar, from 1945 to 1948, for a total of 7,200 examples. This light aircraft is a true classic. #aircraft #Aeronca #7AC #Champion #Sanford #SanfordSeacoastRegionalAirport #Maine #USA #lightaircraft #avgeek #aviationgeek #aviationlover #airport #KSFM

Write-upfrom 2011 on the Aeronca 100, a plane that was in our garage for all of my childhood. It was my dad’s dream to restore the plan, but a lack of money precluded any chance of that. Great that it could finally be restored to flying condition
