True, how very true!

Spot on here too Ken!! Those planes look awesome!

Yes, that’s very true. I really like the pics.

very nice indeed

Great piece and well illustrated!

i was a tomboy i grew up loving bigger toys, nice poem to go with these pictures too.

I liked playing with the bigger boys ,cough.

Now that is so very true!! Terrific little poem Ken! I love those models,can girls be included in flying one of these? lol

Enjoyed the pictorial commentary!

I wonder why you had the super constellation in the foreground. I knew you must be mesmerizing about your first and only airplane ride, lol. Nice one, Ken…The Cessna 172 (taxiway) was just twice the horsepower of the Cessna 150 where I’m rated to fly years ago.

I love it. Great poem and nice images.

In the first photo I recognized a P51, a P38 and a jet that may have been a Super Saber. Yes, as a kid I loved my model airplanes. I liked the poem, too.

Oh, and The Spirit of St. Louis.

How right you are, my grandson just bought a motorcycle.

Ain’t it the truth????

My father in-law before he passed away in the early 80’s was a huge contributor the the RC airplane club in southern California. They even had an annual memorial award for the top builder/flyer called the George Gibson award. I enjoyed reading your peom. Thanks for sharing.

Truly said.

lol when you say “not your baby brothers” model airplanes, I have to say “Oh yes they are” because my brother (4 years younger) builds and flies this kind of plane (and he has the regular model ones too). Pretty cool stuff really. I believe he even builds them for others who just want to fly them but not build

so true, enjoyed reading it

I love planes and cars. Unfortunately, all I can tell you is I like it and what I like about it. I don’t know makes, models, performance or speed. I just know what I like and think I know what I need. lol

Wonderfully expressed, a restlessness until you make it big.

How right you are, Ken. I love the poem.

Christine

This is certainly true of all males.

I remember a shop here named toys for the big boys.

And dont you forget it hahaaha
once again, you did it Ken

hehehe… don’t ya just love them for it!!

You’re so right about boys and their toys. I have a big little boy I am married to and he loves his computer toys. Great article and the photos made the piece.
