I believe my wife might. She uses that frequently

Maybe she was skinny 20 years ago . . . The navy has a habit of giving their squadrons colorful names. For this one ,I propose the Porkers .

My understanding of fabric covered airplanes is that if it's not taunt , it will result in a catastrophic failure in short order. I doubt it would be worth replicating.

Oooooh , look at that wrinkled fabric

Been here all along Bob. Just nothing to show yet , so I'm just happy to make snyde comments . The way we got in Vietnam was trying to help the French. Seems we have had to clean their mess more than once. Well , now they are in a mess trying to keep the camel jockeys in line . Hope that's not...

I read a report 2-3 years ago that the Airforce was complaining that they wanted a bigger engine because this one could not provide enough bleed air to keep the electronics cool enough.

Darn Paddy. that's darn right fugly. Every time I see one, I think some kid in a sheet metal class had too much time on his hands.

Nope , you are correct. They have been declining for a long time .

Looks like a good time Chris

Thanks for the info Greg

wonder if they would work with something like Vallejo air ?

Bob, I think you found your niche :good:
