DH 1963 Pilot

With the 3rd of five WWII planes that my grandson made for me with his 3D printer. The fighter plane that flew off US aircraft carriers in the Pacific, the Hellcat.

Cool 3D printing. Dan Henry Chrono, is it quartz?

Looking good Tony. The silver and blue are really good together on this Chrono.

Great watch, and a really cool 3D print 👍

3D printing is amazing - Sounds like you and your grandson are assembling quite the historic airplane collection!

Wow Tony! Great Blue 💙 Monday entry! Those silver subdials look great against the blue dail. Love the aluminum bezel! Have a great day my friend!

Your 63 is looking as awesome as ever, Tony and I shall live vicariously until I get my 62 back on my wrist. I'm loving your grandsons models. You must have quite a few now 😎

Thanks much Willard. We've had fun with this. He made me 5, that's a good number for my shelf!

Like the Dan Henry chronograph. And the 3D print of the hellcat is outstanding! 👏

Thanks much Jon! 🙏

The model plane makes me want to buy a plane ticket to anywhere with a beach and some hot sun. The DH is perfect for the countdown. Stay dry and be safe today Tony.

·

Hmmmm if we get together for that drink I'll have to bring you one of the model planes from the desk of Thomas Paine, the head of NASA during the first moon landing.

I acquired most of his library and office material at auction. "From Here to the Moon" has a cool scene where Paine's desk is full of the models.

Here is just some of Paine's stuff I ended up with.

My feet are looking a little webbed. It's almost over here. So tomorrow you should see the end of it.

No relatives that were pilots Bill, though in WW II my father taught radar to pilots. My uncle was army and KIA in the Philippines. When I was a kid I just liked to build models of WW II planes. So when my grandson asked "what can I build for you?", I went straight to the planes. The B-17 was also a favorite of mine, that was in my last post of this watch.

Really love hearing about family histories like that. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for sharing your family history as well Bill. We need to remember and share these stories so that those who sacrificed a lot for us are never forgotten.
