I added to it I think I found the aviation place that had the P-51 with this prop on it I think best bottle of vodka do I went looking for it and couldn't find it again but this is the prop I think I saw on a P-51

So I guess the next question is, what airplane is that with the 6 blade on it?

Can't be too many hangars in the country containing a F7U restoration also.
I don't know the answer but I'm betting someone on here does.

Lockheed YO-3 Quiet Star

Is that the airworthy Cutlass restoration that I guess has been going on for quite some time, but I've only heard about recently? Would be cool if they were gonna have the YO-3 flying

I can recall that Quiet Star being a frequent visitor at airshows around the Northwest in the '70's and '80's. I don't think it's been on display at the MoF in the 'Great Gallery' for quite some time now, though. It may just be up at the restoration facility just to store it.

Not sure how you mistake that for a P-51 though.

Not sure how one might mistake the QS for a Stang either but the eyes can play tricks!

I believe the YO-3 is still on display in the Great Gallery at MoF. It was part of the Vietnam-era collection which included the Bell UH-1 Huey down on the main floor, directly behind the Lockheed M-21 Blackbird.

No kidding, the older I get, the more looking at patterns, like dots, really messes with the mind

OMG you warped old farts! I was reading my email digest of this thread which does not show images, I was about to post my almost 70 old man vision whine...




Glad I took a look....

Hamilton makes these too.



Good for 825 km/h.

The Quiet Star also ran a 3 bladed wood prop. I have a picture of it hanging on my wall fueling at Modesto Airport. They were doing some testing at Crowslanding NAS near Patterson CA, No services there, so they would occasionally stop at Modesto for fuel.
