Luck was not on the side for most passengers on the Southwest Chief last Friday, December 28, 2012. The train encountered many misfortunes on the 27th, including bad locomotives, crews dead on the law and no fuel. Train 3 arrived at Fullerton 12 hours later than advertised, guided by BNSF SD70MAC 9868. After a brief stop, 9868 and 3's forelorn and weary guests move forward towards LAUPT, and hopefully, better luck!
I hope 2013 brings you the best of health, abundant joy, bountiful happiness and unlimited prosperity.

The kit and its assembly:
The origins of this weird build date back to 2016 – the initial spark was a discussion around the P-82 Twin Mustang at whatifmodelers.com, and what “mutations” could be created from it. One idea was a single fuselage layout with two engines in classic, wing-mounted pods, and fellow user Tophe even created a profile for this idea. The idea stuck to my mind, and the recent “More or less engines” group build at the forum was a welcome spark to tackle this project in hardware form.
However, when I dug out the ingredients, I wondered if the original idea could be taken further? I remembered some Lockheed 18 Lodestar conversions (into business aircraft) that changed the aircraft from a tail sitter to a tricycle landing gear – could this be done with a two-engine Mustang, too? Another influential factor became the real French search for an "overseas support aircraft" in the late Fifties, and a modified Mustang could well fit into the specification profile.
Said and done, I used an Italeri P-51D as a starting point, and I had a pair of 1:144 resin NK-12 turpoprops (actually for a Tu-95!) left in my aftermarket set bank, which vaguely resemble the French Bastan engines (but still turned out to be quite massive for my plans).
Even though a lot of the P-51D basis went into this build, hardly any part of the kit remained untouched or was glued into the place where it was originally planned to be. Furthermore, lots of PSR went into the construction. Major modification include:
- The windscreen was moved 5mm forward for a bigger cockpit (with 3 seats), and the sliding part of the canopy was replaced by a clear part from an 1:72 Matchbox Blackburn Buccaneer. This also necessitated a new dorsal spine as a matching rear fairing. The cockpit received a new, extended floor and two additional bucket seats
- The original landing gear wells were closed (using the OOB covers and some putty), the ventral radiator disappeared and the nose slightly trimmed down in order to make room for the elongated, narrower new front end
- A new nose section with an integral front landing gear well (made from 0.5mm styrene sheet) and lots of lead beads hidden inside was created with 2C putty, integrating a nose tip from an Airfix Westland Whirlwind
- The wings were moved backwards by 5mm, the wing span was slightly extended (each side by roughly 5mm) and finally received customized tip tanks (originally belonging to a Heller Saab J29)
- The stabilizers were replaced by larger alternatives (from a Heller He 112) and the fin was extended in order to balance the overall proportions of the airframe
- The resin engines were mounted to nacelles, scratched from 1:48 drop tanks (IIRC from an F6F). The nacelles were later cut open to provide new main landing gear wells
- The main landing gear consists of the P-51’s OOB struts and wheels, while a front leg from a Matchbox A-4M Skyhawk was used. The result is quite stalky, but the low propeller position called for this layout
- Pylons from a Matchbox Hawker Harrier were attached under the wings with an external load of a pair of drop tanks and missile launchers
This sounds simpler than it actually was to create – I can hardly remember a model kit that I modified that much and thoroughly, even though most of the original substance remained!
As a side note, concerning the Italeri kit, I must say that the kit’s material is very thin and therefore the whole structure, especially the fuselage, is rather wobbly. The kit itself is not bad at all and comes with fine, engraved panel lines and a nice range of ordnance (including six HVARs, two bombs and drop tanks), but it was not the best choice for such a thorough conversion – the Academy kit, for instance, would have been easier to work with, and even the old Match box and Heller kits had made many things easier.

By 1966, the Vietnam War was in full swing, and the USAF was noting the alarming rise in losses among its Forward Air Control (FAC) community, at that time flying mostly Cessna O-1 Bird Dogs. The O-1 was a good FAC platform, but single engined; the FAC role required low and slow flight, making it vulnerable to ground fire. The USAF’s requirement for an “off-the-shelf” interim replacement for the O-1, which would retain the O-1’s good visibility from the cockpit and have better survivalbility, was suited well by Cessna’s Model 337 Skymaster. The Model 337 used a unique “push-pull” twin engine setup, which had better performance and reliability than a single-engined aircraft, but did not require twin-engined certification to fly. The USAF immediately ordered 532 Skymasters as O-2A FAC aircraft and loudspeaker-equipped O-2B psychological warfare aircraft, with the first reaching USAF units in March 1967.
The O-2, nicknamed “Oscar Deuce” or “Duck” by its pilots, proved to be an excellent FAC platform, even if the twin-engined reliability was thought by its pilots to be oversold—the only thing that handled worse than an O-2 on one engine, the saying went, was an O-2 with no engines. Using marker rockets on underwing hardpoints, FAC O-2s would mark a target for USAF or South Vietnamese strike aircraft to attack VC/NVA positions in the dense jungle and mountains of South Vietnam, and occasionally Laos or even the southern portion of North Vietnam. FAC pilots were known to make strafing runs or salvo their rockets into attacking enemy troops if the situation on the ground was desperate, and some O-2 pilots even equipped their aircraft with side-firing machine guns to act as “emergency gunships,” though the USAF discouraged this activity. The FAC role was dangerous enough: 178 O-2s were lost during the Vietnam War, nearly one out of every five the USAF acquired. As it turned out, the O-2 was at least as effective as its scheduled replacement, the OV-10 Bronco, and its involvement in Vietnam ended only when American involvement did in 1973.
Following the Vietnam War, the O-2 remained in service as a FAC, though it was gradually relegated to liaison duties with Air National Guard units as the OV-10 and jet-powered OA-37B Dragonfly replaced it. The Skymaster was finally retired from USAF service around 1986, but several remained in service with the US Army as test aircraft and the US Navy as range safety aircraft for the strike training program. The last O-2 left US service in 2010. Many ex-USAF aircraft were supplied to other nations as liasion or counterinsurgency aircraft, or in Africa, anti-poaching aircraft.
This O-2B is 67-1469, which joined the USAF's 4410th Combat Crew Training Wing at Hurlburt Field, Florida, training new FAC pilots for Vietnam. Only a few months after delivery in early 1967, 67-1469 went to Vietnam itself, serving as a FAC with the 14th Air Commando/Special Operations Wing at Nha Trang, South Vietnam. 67-1469 came home in 1971, and would serve with two Air National Guard units--the 105th Tactical Air Support Group (New York ANG) at Westchester and the 315th Tactical Airlift Wing (Michigan ANG) at Battle Creek--along with a brief stint with the Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill AFB, Utah. Retired in 1978, it became a ground instruction trainer at Sheppard AFB, Texas until 1987.
With its USAF career at an end, 67-1469 was donated to an honorable retirement at the Kansas Aviation Museum at McConnell AFB. Tragedy struck the aircraft in 2012, however, when it was damaged by a tornado. The museum lacked the funding to repair 67-1469, and it was acquired by the Miracle of America Museum in Polson, Montana shortly thereafter.
Unfortunately for 67-1469, the Miracle of America Museum may not have the funds to restore it either. It rests as little more than a wreck between the museum's CH-34 and T-33B, with the tail booms gone, the engines missing, and the wings stored alongside of it. It's something of a sad fate for a Vietnam veteran aircraft, and hopefully someday it will return to at least display status.

Architecture in Vienna
Vienna's 2,000-year history is present in a unique density in the cityscape. The layout of the center dates back to the Roman city and medieval road network. Romanesque and Gothic churches characterize the streets and squares as well as palaces and mansions of the baroque city of residence. The ring road is an expression of the modern city of the 19th century, in the 20th century extensive housing developments set accents in the outer districts. Currently, large-scale urban development measures are implemented; distinctive buildings of international star architects complement the silhouette of the city.
Due to its function as residence of the emperor and European power center, Vienna for centuries stood in the focus of international attention, but it was well aware of that too. As a result, developed an outstanding building culture, and still today on a worldwide scale only a few cities can come up with a comparable density of high-quality architecture. For several years now, Vienna has increased its efforts to connect with its historical highlights and is drawing attention to itself with some spectacular new buildings. The fastest growing city in the German-speaking world today most of all in residential construction is setting standards. Constants of the Viennese architecture are respect for existing structures, the palpability of historical layers and the dialogue between old and new.
Culmination of medieval architecture: the Stephansdom
The oldest architectural landmark of the city is St. Stephen's Cathedral. Under the rule of the Habsburgs, defining the face of the city from the late 13th century until 1918 in a decisive way, the cathedral was upgraded into the sacral monument of the political ambitions of the ruling house. The 1433 completed, 137 meters high southern tower, by the Viennese people affectionately named "Steffl", is a masterpiece of late Gothic architecture in Europe. For decades he was the tallest stone structure in Europe, until today he is the undisputed center of the city.
The baroque residence
Vienna's ascension into the ranks of the great European capitals began in Baroque. Among the most important architects are Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt. Outside the city walls arose a chain of summer palaces, including the garden Palais Schwarzenberg (1697-1704) as well as the Upper and Lower Belvedere of Prince Eugene of Savoy (1714-22). Among the most important city palaces are the Winter Palace of Prince Eugene (1695-1724, now a branch of the Belvedere) and the Palais Daun-Kinsky (auction house in Kinsky 1713-19). The emperor himself the Hofburg had complemented by buildings such as the Imperial Library (1722-26) and the Winter Riding School (1729-34). More important, however, for the Habsburgs was the foundation of churches and monasteries. Thus arose before the city walls Fischer von Erlach's Karlskirche (1714-39), which with its formal and thematic complex show façade belongs to the major works of European Baroque. In colored interior rooms like that of St. Peter's Church (1701-22), the contemporary efforts for the synthesis of architecture, painting and sculpture becomes visible.
Upgrading into metropolis: the ring road time (Ringstraßenzeit)
Since the Baroque, reflections on extension of the hopelessly overcrowed city were made, but only Emperor Franz Joseph ordered in 1857 the demolition of the fortifications and the connection of the inner city with the suburbs. 1865, the Ring Road was opened. It is as the most important boulevard of Europe an architectural and in terms of urban development achievement of the highest rank. The original building structure is almost completely preserved and thus conveys the authentic image of a metropolis of the 19th century. The public representational buildings speak, reflecting accurately the historicism, by their style: The Greek Antique forms of Theophil Hansen's Parliament (1871-83) stood for democracy, the Renaissance of the by Heinrich Ferstel built University (1873-84) for the flourishing of humanism, the Gothic of the Town Hall (1872-83) by Friedrich Schmidt for the medieval civic pride.
Dominating remained the buildings of the imperial family: Eduard van der Nüll's and August Sicardsburg's Opera House (1863-69), Gottfried Semper's and Carl Hasenauer's Burgtheater (1874-88), their Museum of Art History and Museum of Natural History (1871-91) and the Neue (New) Hofburg (1881-1918 ). At the same time the ring road was the preferred residential area of mostly Jewish haute bourgeoisie. With luxurious palaces the families Ephrussi, Epstein or Todesco made it clear that they had taken over the cultural leadership role in Viennese society. In the framework of the World Exhibition of 1873, the new Vienna presented itself an international audience. At the ring road many hotels were opened, among them the Hotel Imperial and today's Palais Hansen Kempinski.
Laboratory of modernity: Vienna around 1900
Otto Wagner's Postal Savings Bank (1903-06) was one of the last buildings in the Ring road area Otto Wagner's Postal Savings Bank (1903-06), which with it façade, liberated of ornament, and only decorated with "functional" aluminum buttons and the glass banking hall now is one of the icons of modern architecture. Like no other stood Otto Wagner for the dawn into the 20th century: His Metropolitan Railway buildings made the public transport of the city a topic of architecture, the church of the Psychiatric hospital at Steinhofgründe (1904-07) is considered the first modern church.
With his consistent focus on the function of a building ("Something impractical can not be beautiful"), Wagner marked a whole generation of architects and made Vienna the laboratory of modernity: in addition to Joseph Maria Olbrich, the builder of the Secession (1897-98) and Josef Hoffmann, the architect of the at the western outskirts located Purkersdorf Sanatorium (1904) and founder of the Vienna Workshop (Wiener Werkstätte, 1903) is mainly to mention Adolf Loos, with the Loos House at the square Michaelerplatz (1909-11) making architectural history. The extravagant marble cladding of the business zone stands in maximal contrast, derived from the building function, to the unadorned facade above, whereby its "nudity" became even more obvious - a provocation, as well as his culture-critical texts ("Ornament and Crime"), with which he had greatest impact on the architecture of the 20th century. Public contracts Loos remained denied. His major works therefore include villas, apartment facilities and premises as the still in original state preserved Tailor salon Knize at Graben (1910-13) and the restored Loos Bar (1908-09) near the Kärntner Straße (passageway Kärntner Durchgang).
Between the Wars: International Modern Age and social housing
After the collapse of the monarchy in 1918, Vienna became capital of the newly formed small country of Austria. In the heart of the city, the architects Theiss & Jaksch built 1931-32 the first skyscraper in Vienna as an exclusive residential address (Herrengasse - alley 6-8). To combat the housing shortage for the general population, the social democratic city government in a globally unique building program within a few years 60,000 apartments in hundreds of apartment buildings throughout the city area had built, including the famous Karl Marx-Hof by Karl Ehn (1925-30). An alternative to the multi-storey buildings with the 1932 opened International Werkbundsiedlung was presented, which was attended by 31 architects from Austria, Germany, France, Holland and the USA and showed models for affordable housing in greenfield areas. With buildings of Adolf Loos, André Lurçat, Richard Neutra, Gerrit Rietveld, the Werkbundsiedlung, which currently is being restored at great expense, is one of the most important documents of modern architecture in Austria.
Modernism was also expressed in significant Villa buildings: The House Beer (1929-31) by Josef Frank exemplifies the refined Wiener living culture of the interwar period, while the house Stonborough-Wittgenstein (1926-28, today Bulgarian Cultural Institute), built by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein together with the architect Paul Engelmann for his sister Margarete, by its aesthetic radicalism and mathematical rigor represents a special case within contemporary architecture.
Expulsion, war and reconstruction
After the "Anschluss (Annexation)" to the German Reich in 1938, numerous Jewish builders, architects (female and male ones), who had been largely responsible for the high level of Viennese architecture, have been expelled from Austria. During the Nazi era, Vienna remained largely unaffected by structural transformations, apart from the six flak towers built for air defense of Friedrich Tamms (1942-45), made of solid reinforced concrete which today are present as memorials in the cityscape.
The years after the end of World War II were characterized by the reconstruction of the by bombs heavily damaged city. The architecture of those times was marked by aesthetic pragmatism, but also by the attempt to connect with the period before 1938 and pick up on current international trends. Among the most important buildings of the 1950s are Roland Rainer's City Hall (1952-58), the by Oswald Haerdtl erected Wien Museum at Karlsplatz (1954-59) and the 21er Haus of Karl Schwanzer (1958-62).
The youngsters come
Since the 1960s, a young generation was looking for alternatives to the moderate modernism of the reconstruction years. With visionary designs, conceptual, experimental and above all temporary architectures, interventions and installations, Raimund Abraham, Günther Domenig, Eilfried Huth, Hans Hollein, Walter Pichler and the groups Coop Himmelb(l)au, Haus-Rucker-Co and Missing Link rapidly got international attention. Although for the time being it was more designed than built, was the influence on the postmodern and deconstructivist trends of the 1970s and 1980s also outside Austria great. Hollein's futuristic "Retti" candle shop at Charcoal Market/Kohlmarkt (1964-65) and Domenig's biomorphic building of the Central Savings Bank in Favoriten (10th district of Vienna - 1975-79) are among the earliest examples, later Hollein's Haas-Haus (1985-90), the loft conversion Falkestraße (1987/88) by Coop Himmelb(l)au or Domenig's T Center (2002-04) were added. Especially Domenig, Hollein, Coop Himmelb(l)au and the architects Ortner & Ortner (ancient members of Haus-Rucker-Co) by orders from abroad the new Austrian and Viennese architecture made a fixed international concept.
MuseumQuarter and Gasometer
Since the 1980s, the focus of building in Vienna lies on the compaction of the historic urban fabric that now as urban habitat of high quality no longer is put in question. Among the internationally best known projects is the by Ortner & Ortner planned MuseumsQuartier in the former imperial stables (competition 1987, 1998-2001), which with institutions such as the MUMOK - Museum of Modern Art Foundation Ludwig, the Leopold Museum, the Kunsthalle Wien, the Architecture Center Vienna and the Zoom Children's Museum on a wordwide scale is under the largest cultural complexes. After controversies in the planning phase, here an architectural compromise between old and new has been achieved at the end, whose success as an urban stage with four million visitors (2012) is overwhelming.
The dialogue between old and new, which has to stand on the agenda of building culture of a city that is so strongly influenced by history, also features the reconstruction of the Gasometer in Simmering by Coop Himmelb(l)au, Wilhelm Holzbauer, Jean Nouvel and Manfred Wehdorn (1999-2001). Here was not only created new housing, but also a historical industrial monument reinterpreted into a signal in the urban development area.
New Neighborhood
In recent years, the major railway stations and their surroundings moved into the focus of planning. Here not only necessary infrastructural measures were taken, but at the same time opened up spacious inner-city residential areas and business districts. Among the prestigious projects are included the construction of the new Vienna Central Station, started in 2010 with the surrounding office towers of the Quartier Belvedere and the residential and school buildings of the Midsummer quarter (Sonnwendviertel). Europe's largest wooden tower invites here for a spectacular view to the construction site and the entire city. On the site of the former North Station are currently being built 10,000 homes and 20,000 jobs, on that of the Aspangbahn station is being built at Europe's greatest Passive House settlement "Euro Gate", the area of the North Western Railway Station is expected to be developed from 2020 for living and working. The largest currently under construction residential project but can be found in the north-eastern outskirts, where in Seaside Town Aspern till 2028 living and working space for 40,000 people will be created.
In one of the "green lungs" of Vienna, the Prater, 2013, the WU campus was opened for the largest University of Economics of Europe. Around the central square spectacular buildings of an international architect team from Great Britain, Japan, Spain and Austria are gathered that seem to lead a sometimes very loud conversation about the status quo of contemporary architecture (Hitoshi Abe, BUSarchitektur, Peter Cook, Zaha Hadid, NO MAD Arquitectos, Carme Pinós).
Flying high
International is also the number of architects who have inscribed themselves in the last few years with high-rise buildings in the skyline of Vienna and make St. Stephen's a not always unproblematic competition. Visible from afar is Massimiliano Fuksas' 138 and 127 meters high elegant Twin Tower at Wienerberg (1999-2001). The monolithic, 75-meter-high tower of the Hotel Sofitel at the Danube Canal by Jean Nouvel (2007-10), on the other hand, reacts to the particular urban situation and stages in its top floor new perspectives to the historical center on the other side.
Also at the water stands Dominique Perrault's DC Tower (2010-13) in the Danube City - those high-rise city, in which since the start of construction in 1996, the expansion of the city north of the Danube is condensed symbolically. Even in this environment, the slim and at the same time striking vertically folded tower of Perrault is beyond all known dimensions; from its Sky Bar, from spring 2014 on you are able to enjoy the highest view of Vienna. With 250 meters, the tower is the tallest building of Austria and almost twice as high as the St. Stephen's Cathedral. Vienna, thus, has acquired a new architectural landmark which cannot be overlooked - whether it also has the potential to become a landmark of the new Vienna, only time will tell. The architectural history of Vienna, where European history is presence and new buildings enter into an exciting and not always conflict-free dialogue with a great and outstanding architectural heritage, in any case has yet to offer exciting chapters.

We can’t believe that four wonderful weeks have flown by. It was very exciting to have all of our Willows family members join us for our visiting day. We hope you had as much fun as we did.
While the temperature outside continued to rise, so did the fun and excitement. All the children had plenty of water breaks and extra time swimming to keep cool. Even the threat of rain didn’t dampen our spirits. We had the opportunity to have an extra special snack of sandwich cookies decorated with icing and jimmies.
This week’s theme was “Finding Nemo,” and the Tadpoles and Minnows created CD fish door hangers in Camper Creations. At Ceramics, the campers enjoyed painting their clay hands and feet. All your children’s projects will be sent home shortly. On Wednesday, in preparation for Waterworld and to honor our weekly theme of “Finding Nemo,” many of our Tadpoles and Minnows attempted the giant water slide and loved it.
To end our wonderful week, The Willows campers joined the rest of camp at Waterworld. The children drove water boats and joined in other great water activities. A terrific time was had by all!
We are looking forward to the next four weeks with your children. As a reminder, please remember to label all items brought to camp and wear yellow as much as possible.

Night driving. The road stretches forward and the sky reflects the glow of road signs and streetlamps. I have that CD, the one with sounds from the eighties. The Damned sing In Dulce Decorum, Glen Frey tells of Smuggler's Blues and Mike and the Mechanics transport me Par Avion to the Florida Keys. My glasses become wayfarers, my polo shirt and jeans a loose fitting pastel suit, socks are (of course) not permitted and my trainers are now espadrilles. Today's unshaven complexion is tonight's designer stubble. I imagine the camera panning to a wheel as it spins on the tarmac, the engine growls and then a wide angle over the bonnet watching the lights dancing on the paintwork. These are the nights I love to drive alone. I sometimes take a wrong turn just to get a few more miles on the clock. Miami Vice definitely has a lot to answer for.

The quilted patterned sky caught my eye, as we moved on down the rural two-lane highway. The trees at right made a nice addition. Looks cold, and it was a mite.
From this day forward,
You shall not walk alone,
My heart will be your shelter,
And my arms will be your home.
