July 3, 20214 yr Image # 1: The Caudron C.450 (and C.460) were French racing aircraft, built by manufacturer, Rene Caudron, to participate (and win) in the Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe race of 1934. And, indeed, these a/c won handily... The 1930s were known, the world over, for hand-crafted "hot-rods" built with the sole purpose to win races. The (typical) formula for such success was to attach the biggest (possible) engine on the smallest (possible) airframe...usually resulting in not-so-graceful (ungainly) looking airplanes. The C.450/C.460 designs were, however, rare exceptions...these two racers were not only fast but also graceful...! A single C.450 was built, and it was blue in color. So, find this C.450, below, in a fictitious "Red" color... Image # 2: On June 18, 2021, Southwest Airlines celebrated the 50th anniversary of its first flight. Southwest's first (ever) flight had taken off at 7 a.m. on June 18, 1971, from Dallas Love Field bound for San Antonio. On this special occasion, the airline unveiled a new "Freedom One" livery on a B737-800 emblazoned with a stylized American flag, seen below.
