    Any of you heard of Game Composites? http://www.gamecomposites.com/ I had the privledge of being able to walk through the brand new production facility today and speak with the founders of the company. I also got to see a demo flight from the one fully-functioning aircraft they have. No photos unfortunately, but I can tell you that I was VERY impressed with their manufacturing process. Extra better watch out!

    That's Phillip Steinbach'a new airplane. He's the guy behind the SBach 300, XtremeAir XA41 & XA42. He parted ways with XtremeAir and is partnered with one of the Waltons. This past summer at Oshkosh I spoke to them at length about it. Looks pretty good from all the info I have read but haven't flown it yet. I'd be curious to see how it stacks up with the other composite monoplanes. For comparison I've flown the XA42, MX2, Extra 300L & 330LX. They are all great in performance but each one does something slightly better than the other.

    It is definitely an F-16I with the conformal fuel tanks ... that centerline pod is what I'm wondering about ?

    Weird. It goes right through me. Turns my pee clear, though.

    Well, I think I just found my new favorite thread...

    Currently in the land of orange and white jets in Texas, slight bit of difference compared to low and slow taildraggers from growing up. Glad to see there's a big mix of Tacos and flying here!

    Welcome! Hey @Mtnflyer - we found another "Naval Aviator" for you to tell lies with and teach how to drink properly.

    ...^^^... Welcome lowpass89 and this is a fun website ... who would have thought you would find .. "Aviation", "Car Porn" and "WTF" threads on a Tacoma Web Site ??

    Other fixed wing and/or rotary aviation websites get too boring long term ... this is a great mixture here on TW.
