I'm emailing that link to Pops. He should get a kick out of that, having been shot down 4 times in them and trashing one due to a mechanical failure.

An aircraft carrier and a plane. Now that's sweet.

I'm sure we can load some tanks in there too!

Johnny Gage is the Foxhole's resident plane profiler. I'm sure he can come up with an F/A 18 profile.

Sure, Johnny can come up with a profile but we're talking about buying it and putting it TOGETHER in PE's garage, or as archy suggests, we just buy the carrier for sale and we're set! LOL. Just no working on it on Tuesdays, that's for tanks!

Boy, if we were only rich!

Is it too soon to start compiling targets?

Good point.

Can't do much "altering or abolishing" with popguns.

And some helicopters. There's a Mi-24 Hind-A fixer-upper available at another E-Bay auction.

The seller also has a MiG-21 for sale, too.

And the same guy peddling the FA-18 at E-Bay has a T-33 for sale, too....

Yes, we could get a pretty good little air arm together; all it takes is money, lots of money. And spare parts. And mechanics....

I got to see one of these about 1989 or so. The tail boom had US ARMY stenciled on it on 3 inch letters. Heh Heh Heh.
