• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

PVL VS MBZ who is the best

Bubble Canopy I suppose....

I'm an afficianado of all WW II fighters..... been around them and in them since I was 7 or 8..... my great Aunt Lu was in the WAAF? One of the first 8 or 10 women US Airforce pilots to ferry B-17's to England... my dad was in the Airforce ( electrician on RB57 Canberra's) and my parents were heavily involved in Airshow Promotion while I was growing up. I chose a different path and decided to hang underneath US Marine Corps Helo's for a while. Still love the planes though.

Since this thread is a bust.:D

My favorite configuration of RR Merlins has always been the DH Mossie.

I got to shake George Aird hand I believe back in 1984 when he ferried RS712 from Scotland, which was purchased by Kermit Weeks. George had a short stay over in Hamilton Ont. then headed South.
I hope I got the right...

Here's a short clip leaving Scotland.

HELO, High alt. low opening right?
Goota love that military channel.
My involvement with warbirds came after i left a Boeing Subsidiary in Duarte and went to work with my ex high school sweethearts dad`s shop at Chino airport.
His name was Don Sakamoto and the name of his shop was called Pineapple Propeller.
He rebuilt war bird props.
One project that we did was take Navy trakker plane blades and reprofiled them to work on P-51s.cool stuff!
