dodgem37 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) I don't know what the references are out there in Arado-land. But I thought some of these shots would be of interest to those interested in this aircraft.

Troy Molitor Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Thanks for sharing this Mark. I walked through Silver Hills restoration facility many years ago and saw this Arado in pieces being restored way back in the mid 80's. Still an awesome aircraft to look at.

Wurzacher Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Mark, thank you so much for those pictures! One never has enough pictures of this beautiful aircraft! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Great to see! Many years ago, I got to meet the last Luftwaffe pilot who flew this very aircraft from the production facility to Norway - it was a delivery flight. He grew up and lived not far from where I live. I can't remember his name anymore... One of our company pilots who is long retired got to paint on the hand painted stencils a long time ago!

Guest Peterpools Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Bill Thank you for the link - The Udvar-Hazy center looks amazing. I really need to head south for a weeks long vacation in Dc and spend time at the Air and Space and the Udvar-Hazy Center. I'll be coming up with a plan somehow so Diane will look forward to going Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be coming up with a plan somehow so Diane will look forward to going Peter Peter, be sure to stay outside DC for the U-H Center, as it's down the road from Dulles. DC has some great restaurants, especially up in Georgetown where I have stayed in the past, and the history there isn't just about conflict. The National Portrait Gallery is very good, and of course the Smithsonian is about MUCH more than flight and fight. You might not know that you can arrange for a White House tour through your Congressperson, which bypasses all the lines for the peons who don't have that "in."
