Riding Game

Rick, i do not know planes but it looks like your vintage one might be a T-6 Mosquito.
Sounds like it was used mostly for training but then pressed into service during the Korean War.

Thanks for the pass Rick. On my ride I was looking for a horse or two but instead I came across elephants. What a fluke it was coming across these guys. I'll make the next tag any exotic animal. As an alternate, I'll accept the horses I was originally looking for.

Is one of those elephants the one that roughed up that car on the news?

It is a North American T-6 Texan. flown in the Korean war by the USAF, designated "Mosquito". It was originally used a trainer by the Navy in WWII. They called it an SNJ. My father is in the co-pilot seat, Dahlgren, VA, 1943.

Now THAT, is a cool picture...

Hmmm, elephants may be a reach, unless I can sneak into the zoo. We did have some bison and ostrich in nearby Oviedo. You could get meat there, I'll have to look them up to see if they are still around.

How about bronze statues of elephants?

[steve murdoch]

If the smaller, slower moving bronze elephants are acceptable, the next tag is your local School Board building.
This one is the District School Board of Niagara.

I almost hit a wild turkey in the road today. I guess that wouldn't fit the exotic part of the tag, not to mention we were both moving too fast getting out of each other's way for a photo opportunity. He was all feet and wings for a second and than ran off the road, good thing since he was a rather large one.

They look like they're moving to me.

I didn't know school boards had their own buildings. Our board just uses an available room at the high school. Seems normal to use one of the schools you manage instead of an extra building. Guess I'm not able to get this tag.

Nice find Steve.

[steve murdoch]

It should have been "normal" to use an off-hour school or at least a smaller building.
They built this monstrosity for huge dollars and even added some expensive artwork. Meanwhile programs are cut and layoffs occurred.
I rarely play so i don't want to hold up the game.
How about a large BLUE building as a backup tag.

GS1100 swingarm on the Honda for Suzuki content. haha.

I thought I'd try something vintage for the next tag. Out at a small airport outside of the town of Apopka at the Apopka-Orlando Airport. This vintage PAN AM passenger plane has been put to pasture and has been there since I went to Apopka High School near by.


This was landing right as I was leaving the property, so I had to turn around. I'm not a plane aficionado, so I'll leave that to others to describe what type it is.


So an alternate to the passenger, will be a vintage fighter plane(not jet). It can be a grounded display.
I have other back up tags waiting if needed.

That plane is a North American T6 Texan.
