Ok so cool we are publishing! Well there is a lot going on last week end just North of
where we live in South Florida there was an airshow in Vero Beach Florida! This Friday night local news reported that the
missionarys that fly to Haite airplanes from Ft. Peirce, Florida was found murdered in is home in Haitie
yesterday or so and this as Christafer Columbus's Flag ship which sunk in a hurricane the," Santa Maria", was thought
to of been located just of Haitian coast this past week!
We have been
a little behind on our airplane codex template code, my friend Mathew paid me back $20.00 he owed me and I went and got
a haircut with it! The other day and Wendy took me to a place where they give Mancures and Pedacure for men and now Wendy
can't say anything to me about my dirty fingernails that I have at times!
As
it is May 17th Saturday the day we try to reserve to talk about Airplanes and spaceship' the airplane for today is the Boeing
B-17 Flying Fortress and we will report on information about that and then work backwards to pick up where we left off earlier
in the week!
On 8 August 1934 the U.S. Army Air Corps (USAAC) Tendered a proposal for a
multi-engine bomber to replace the Martin B-10 ( Remember 1934 was the year that Woodrow Wilson died who had started the Federal
Reserve and tried to get the United States to become a member of the league of Nations but failed). The Boeing B-17 first
flew in 28 July 1935 and was introduced in April 1938! 12,731 were built at a cost of $238,329 each!
The prototype B-17 designated the Model 299 was design by a team of engineers led by E. Gifford Emery and Edward Curtis Wells
and was built at Boeings expense! It combine the features of the XB-15 (which only one was built) and the Boeing 247
transport aircraft!
On 20 August 1935 the prototype (Model 299) flew from Seattle
to Dayton Ohio in 9 hours and 3 minute at an average speed of 252 MPH!
( Ok
we wanted to mention here that we have been watching the Fox news network! This is the TV station that Rubert Murdock owns
and we get the feed here in south Florida from NYC and it is piped to ths area the fox news channel is related to something
called Fox 21st century and Rupert Murdock has been connected to phone hacking scandals and there has been deaths associated
with it and Murdock they say is or was a member of the Australia Defence agency or organization what ever that is! He also
been known as of taken what they call a poison pill and has been in court in England in and on the international business
news and they say is pulling out their investment in that country we notice that these shows we pick up on the fox news channel
and it is interesting to watch but they have been knocking in a series of rhetoric news broadcast's on the problems with the
Veterans Administration the veterans administration is and always had been playing catch up and it is the second biggest government
department Tinker he thinks a lot of these attacks are a power grab the sources from the people that are always on this circuit
of channel shows! This Greta Van Sustrain has been associated with the Church of Scientology( true story) many people
we notice bad mouthing the VA on this broadcast are not veterans! This and the fact that here in Florida we have been
hampered by phoney veteran organizations connected to illegal interstate internet gambling, Little Tinker felt he had to say
something as he goes to the VA to get his PTSD shot and they are very nice!)( Tinker Johnson Grand Planet Airship Company

Now back to the B-17 Flying Fortress, In a competition with the B-18 Bolo built
by Douglas ( Bolo an ancient weapon like a sling shot), Army Procurement officers were impressed with Boeing's Model 299 and
talked about ordering 65 of them in reference to a 200 bomber plane order! The Douglas B-18 Bolo was $58,200 dollars
and the YB-17 as the Model 299 was to be called was $99,620 dollars!
Development continued
on the Boeing model 299 and on the 30th of October 1935.(Is that the day before Holloween?) Army Air Corp's test pilot Ployer
Peter Hill and Boeing employee Les Tower took the model 299 on a second evaluation flight some how forgetting to disengage
the mechanical ,"gust locks", a device that stops from the flight controls from moving or flapping around when the aircraft
is static and on the ground the model 299 took off in a steep angle stalled and crashed killing the pilots Hill and Tower
and injuring other members of the crew!
Army Chief of Staff canceled the order for 65 YB-17's
and ordered 133 Douglas B-18 Bolos instead!
May 18th 2014 Year of the Horse Sunday! Ok
so we are even though it is already Sunday the 18th of May we are going to go back and see if there was a PT-17 and a PT-16
for Saturday Saturn's Day In Saxon and look at the PT-16 for Friday and comeback and talk about the Douglas B-18 Bolo for
the 18th which is Suns day! Monday moons day in Saxon is the 19th of May 2014!
The
PT-17 Stearman (Boeing) Model-75 Kaydet! Stearmen aircraft became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934! The PT-17 was a bi-plane
two person aircraft that was built and used as a primary trainer in the 30's and 40's and served in the USAAF-USN-(known as
the NS and N2S)! 9,800 were built 8584 built in the United States in the RCAF (Canada)They were known as the Kaydet!
Many were sold surplus after the war and many of those with a larger engine installed became crop dusters!
(
insert May 19th 2014 Monday (Moons Day)! Ok so cool as we were working on going back from the 17th and 18th on our template
codex code we were having trouble with getting in to the web site to publish last night! Tinker noticed several thing's
in the news as we find out the trouble in the Ukraine is also hampered by floods in the east European area of Bosnia Croatia
Serbia in Croatia the flooding was so bad that they had to shut down a power plant and 1/3rd of the country does not have
power and floods have inundated minefield that were marked and they are afraind land mines from the war have been washed away
from their marked sites also there was a air crash reported in the County of Laos and reported high government officials were
killed in there Russian transport aircraft over the week end! Besides it being Merger Monday on the exchanges)
Airplane Template codex for May 16th Friday 2014 the PT-16 PT-20 PT-21 PT-22 built by the Ryan Aeronautical Company founded
by T. Claude Ryan founder which before it was the Ryan Aeronautical Company there was Ryan Airlines and they built
the plane that Charles Lindberg flew the Atlantic in the Spirit of St. Lewis which was a modified Ryan mail plane! First flight
8 June 1934 and introduced in 1934 a two place monoplane with fixed landing gear and open cockpit 1,568 were built under
various designations and they except for about 40 plus built did not really get turned out until 1940 as the war started I
did not find a price per unit! Some were used in foreign export market and many were shot down in combat flying missions against
the Japanese. The navy built a special version that had its wing's clipped back to the landing gear a roll bar protecting
the pilots and a modified throttle so the engine would only get so much RPM out of it and this was used to teach pilots how
to land and take off and taxi especially in cross winds!
Ok last week May15th as we
are playing catch up the Boeing XB-15 is the codex airplane template that relate to the 1930's and 40's and WW2! There
are other airplanes with the number 15 in it. The A-15 which we think was a special aircraft crafted out of the airframe of
the Martin B-10 and of course the modern F-15 Eagle fighter plane jet which is used today but also the three North American
experimental X-15 liquid rocket fueled aircraft with a controlled throttled rocket engine that broke the over
4000 mph in level flight in the early 1960's before little Tinker-bell went to Vietnam! the Boeing XB-15 was a huge aircraft
that only one was built and after the war started it was converted into a special transport aircraft that flew all over the
Caribbean during the war! Before the war it experimented with the then Captain Curtiss Le May as navig-gater in the Panama
canal zone experimented in dropping bombs from altitude in the test of dropping 150 bombs only three hit the target and
the XB-15 had a galley, bunks, to sleep in on long flights and a toilet! The crew could enter the wing roots from the fuselage
and work on the engines and make minor repairs in flight! during the war it flew many female government worker s to the Canal
zone and was stationed in Panama! It is said to of been stripped and its fuselage sunk into a swamp area near the airfield
in Panama and a industrial area is built on top of it today! As we look up about modern Aircraft aerospace companies in Europe today
or at least in 2013 we find that they are working on 3-D maps of the galaxy. The XB-15 Boeing was also used in air survey
work! Also The Vultee BT-13 Valiant was also built and designated the BT-15 Valiant there were over 9000 of these
aircraft built but originally it was thought to of been at first a design for a pursuit plane! May 14th 2014 we have the B-14
which was also crafted out of a Martin B-10 airframe! Monday May 19th Moons day In Saxon 2014 Year of the Horse is the 40th
birthday of the 3-demensioal puzzle Rubic's cube!
