OhFFS. (I literally got nothing else) This is good Jay, really, really good

Even better if you put it on the mantle and turn it around prior to trips so that the Missus knows your sked…

Good lord Jay. That’s amazing. Those Dzues fasteners are amazing. Seriously a gap a few hundredths of an inch? On an airframe assembled mostly by hand in wartime? Don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re breaking some serious ground here and it’s a joy to follow. Humbled that we mere mortals get to watch you and the various Pete’s perform magic…

Sheese, it has been that long hasn’t it? I remember you kicking this off back on Z5 with that lot of miscreants. It brings me great joy to see her back on the bench.

Bada$$ Pig. Great event, thanks for sharing with us.

Unreal… This is so friggen’ cool.

I remember old guys at Hook from 25 years ago saying they were jealous and would love to trade places. I’ve reached that point myself. Break Break Buddy of mine just bought an L-39. Will join his fleet of FSU a/c in CO. If you ever cross paths with Cube, anything he says about me is a bold faced lie.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu dge. This whole thing is so cool. I was wondering how you’d do the feed chutes. And as an aside, in MOTA, the feed chutes they’re using came from dumps near the Bloody Hundredths home station. Dang things were likely used on the very missions depicted in the show. I can’t wait to see more. This is literally my favorite build on here right now, which is saying something with all the crazy cool builds. -Peter

Fu…dge, that’s so cool. Seriously. Looking forward to more.

That’s no joke. The T-2 was having issues with runaway trim in the mid 90s. One poor SNA had it hit in the overhead and plowed into the rwy at Meridian. Jets were grounded and then we all had to do sims so we knew how fast it’d happen and how to handle it. Vivid memories of not catching it fast enough in the sim with crotchety Nam era sim instructor, as I had both boots planted on the IP to help brace the stick. No way was the thing flyable and drove the point home that you also didn’t want to shell out with a first generation seat, so you’d best catch it (the runaway trim) quick.

Sounds like time well spent. Especially if those hounds were nearby (aren’t they always?)

The Cajones. Holy crap, this is cool.

Dunno Pig. That’s a pretty big watch… do you guys have watch envy/ measuring contests?

Here’s my stalled build (museum it was going to had a change of staff, so I stopped working on it till I figure out where she’ll reside). I’ve got some pics of the Nav station and the book listed where Damian shows the Navigator staring out his bubble window.

Haven’t had a chance to pile on, but the sky is the limit. Or in this case your imagination. Click on my profile and scroll through the previous posts (by topic), you’ll see that every single build is gear up. I’m dumb enough to do carrier landings with only the tailhooks for support or massive 1/24th Hellcats bagging a Zero akin to box art. Let your mind run…kind of fun and you’ll be excited at the possibilities! Peter
