I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
- Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

- Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
- AIRM_070428_018.JPG: Fowler-Gage Biplane
- AIRM_070428_186.JPG: Northrop P-61C Black Widow:
The P-61 Black Widow was the first U.S. aircraft designed to locate and destroy enemy aircraft at night and in bad weather, a feat made possible by on-board radar. The prototype first flew in 1942. P-61 combat operations began just before D-Day, June 6, 1944, when Black Widows flew deep into German airspace, bombing and strafing trains and road traffic. By the end of World War II, Black Widows had seen combat in every theater and has destroyed 127 enemy aircraft and 18 German V-1 buzz bombs.
The Museum's ERF-61C-1-NO Black Widow was delivered to the Army Air Forces in July 1945. It flew in cold-weather tests and in the National Thunderstorm Project, and the Smithsonian lent it to the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in 1951-54 to perform drop tests. It is displayed in its NACA colors.
- AIRM_070428_232.JPG: Grumman F-14D(R) Tomcat:
This F-14D(R) Tomcat is a deck-launched, supersonic, twin-engine, variable geometry wing, two-place fleet defense and strike fighter. The multiple tasks of navigation, target acquisition, electronic counter measures (ECM), and weapons employment are divided between the pilot and the radar intercept officer (RIO). Primary missions include fleet air defense, precision strike against ground targets, and air superiority.
The National Air and Space Museum's Tomcat (BuNo. 159610) was the 157th built during the mid-1970s as an F-14A-85-GR and was one of the few Tomcats that was later modified as an F-14D(R) in the early 1990s. It is credited with one MiG kill, which occurred on January 4, 1989, near the coast of Libya.
This Tomcat was preserved with the help of a team of F-14 airframe technicians assigned to the VF-31 Tomcatters at NAS Oceana, Virginia.

- AIRM_070918_020.JPG: Wright Model B:
Reproduction:
By October 1905, the Wright brothers had advanced their breakthrough 1903 design to a practical airplane. In 1908 and 1909, after securing their patent and contracts for the sale of their invention, they publicly demonstrated an improved version of their 1905 design, the Wright Model A, in Europe and the United States to great acclaim. In 1910, the Wrights built a manufacturing facility in their hometown of Dayton, Ohio. Their first production aircraft, the Wright Model B, differed from the Model A by having wheeled landing gear and the horizontal elevator in the rear instead of the front.
This aircraft is a thoroughly accurate, flyable reproduction of the Wright Model B. All materials and techniques used to build it are the same as those employed by the Wright brothers. The engine is an actual 1911 Wright-built motor (serial number 33) used on an original Model B.
