Pardon me for roaming so far back in time ... :oops: ... but I'm trying to get to know Big Blue and its "players."
As for the initial question on this thread ... what Barney didn't notice at the time was ...
hock:
... he must be flying without his spectacles again, because if he was flying a Curtiss "Jenny" he had taken off in someone elses aircraft. I say that because, to the best of my limited knowledge, Barney’s airplane is a Stearman Kaydet. So, that would be the major thing wrong with the photograph ... it was taken from a stolen airplane, and we have to hope that Barney had a good story ready for the RCMP when he landed!
