In reply to Tina Schell.The Dwarf car museum is a real treat. A handful of craftsmen doing the builds for fun. Nothing spiffy and shiny in their workshop.

These are great John – loved the planes. There are many C130s home-based in Charleston and we love to see them lumbering along over the ocean. And I learned something new today. Who ever heard of a dwarf car?! How cute is that?!?!?! Lastly, the corvette. va va voom, give me the refurb any day!!!

I enjoyed your gallery, John. Great examples of old and new. I never heard of “restomod” cars before. Interesting!

In reply to JohnRH.I was lucky to catch that C-180 take-off while standing on the ramp. It is a challenge to get into those small cars. There's a Jay's Garage episode where Jay and Brad Garrett visit the place and take one of the cars for a drive. Of course, Brad Garrett couldn't possibly fit in a sedan, so they took a convertible. >grin<

Great series, great photos, John. I like the Reaper/C130, and that restomod is a beauty, nicely displayed. Not for purists, but definitely providing a niche you see at many car shows. I’m surprised Tweedy can get in that scale model. Must be a squeeze!

In reply to Amy.Thanks! I appreciate your support. That slideshow is a new feature of the Wordpress Block Editor. I thought I'd try it out. It's best to have a 1200x675 pixel image. Since that's not a standard format for my photos, it creates an overlap to the next slide. I'm still trying to determine whether I like the feature or not.
