Pietenpol-List: The T-38, F-104 and the Pietenpol-- off topic

Post by matronics »

When I was at the USAF Museum in Dayton I stretched my arms out on each wing of the T-38 Talon and couldn't believe howshort the wings were so just looked up the wingspan and a Pietenpol wing is FOUR feet longer than a T-38. (29' vs 25' for the Talon)The Pietenpol wing is 9 feet longer than the F-104's wingspan! Okay, back to your normally scheduled programming.Mike C.[cid:image001.jpg(at)01CFD8F2.085EF5C0][http://jetpilotoverseas.files.wordpress ... 1e_o99.jpg]________________________________________________________________________________
