Like many I hold a fascination for all things mechanical. Being the son of a USAF lifer and having spent my hitch on flight lines I place aircraft at the top of the pyramid.
I likes me some Convairs. I was born and raised in San Diego, the home of a massive Convair factory, and these babies rumbled over our house frequently. At our house, we could clearly hear a B-36 or the XC-99 (only one was made) revving up for takeoff from Lindbergh Field, even though we lived 10 miles away.
Convair also made civilian aircraft. Here's a photo of a Japan Air Lines Convair 880 on a test flight over San Diego. I like this photo because it shows my high school below the starboard side of the plane, just aft of the wing. I ran many laps on that track!
If you have any interest in aviation photos, the San Diego Air and Space Museum has a Flickr site that has nearly one-half million aviation related photos. Not all photos are of aircraft, but there is enough interesting stuff to keep an aviation fan busy for months.
Here is the website: https://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/albums/
I advise starting with the albums. Their descriptions will give you an idea of what's inside. You can then choose what topics are of the greatest interest to you.
Enjoy!
