    Nice Picture of one of aviations great airplanes. Alot of good men died in this aircraft but if it were a plane other than the B-17 alot more would have been lost!

    Another favorite is the ASROC MK-16 anti-sub missile. Had these and SHATROCS on the Chicago. Noisy as hell when fired. I swear you could hear them launch several decks down.

    I have worked these things for a few years, and they are Junk!! They are built with way to much technology, i seem to like the old school ACFT, solid, bulky and analog.

    This is what first started out working on, and this thing is solid, and will be the best ACFT of all time in my mind.

    So, I guess my electric RC Supercub doesn't compare to much to your electric RC, huh?

    Cool. Several of my buds flew in that conflict (1999 ish). Names like Rambo, Midas, Norm, Billie, or Swill ring a bell at all? 441 Silverfox (Checker) Squadron were 'my boys'. I still keep in touch with a few of them yet. Too bad 441 is stood-down.
