Olympia?
This man has won some medals in the Olympics.

[Banupa]

I think this airline was named after his achievements...

In general, don't you think it would be good to give a brief title to indicate what, where, when etc? And maybe acknowledge the source!

Who is the 'you' you have in mind?

Richard

[l.garey]

No-one, just "in general". We see such interesting photos in this thread it seems a pity there is not just an indication as to what, where when etc.

[AutoStick]

[Gerard]

Yes they did

Evergreen Aviation Museum

And the Coast Guard had fixed wing...here an N2N trainer.

(This example was the very one that chased Cary Grant through a cornfield in Hitchcock's North by Norhwest.)

[Gerard]

Who said duck? Don't run...... swim!

[rreis]

The great final escape of Agent 327 from Papa castle was what made me fall in love with the Duck.

[J Boyle]

Duck,...it's a Goose!

[Gerard]

[Banupa]

My "balloon" was part of a wind tunnel...

[rreis]

Too big to get inside?

The "balloon" in this is neither too big, nor too small, but just right.

(Believed to be an Ashton post pressure testing of some sort).

Moving on to mammals, but still on water....

Pardon the slight detour, but I do wish they'd kept it's original name..."King Beaver".
One of my favorite aviation names, right up there with the "Double Mamba"" powerplant.

[AutoStick]

OOOOh Errr Snakes ....Not sure about Mambas ---but I know of a big red King Cobra .........
