i don't get it...why would they like that?

 

[Schnugg]

Did you make and paint these? Or just pointing them out to us?

They look very realistic.

 

[FastMover]

Very nice. I wish I could get my models to turn out that good.

 

[A4sForever]

VERY nice, thanks for the link. I flew @ half of those "colors" .... wish I could again, tomorrow.

No A-4's (orange & white single seaters) that I ever saw .... BUT: if you're talkin' F-11's and F-9's ... different story.

The F-11 was really a good looking jet.

The F-11 was really a good looking jet.

It was a sharp lookin' bird .... unfortunately for the F-11 and its Fleet applicability, the Crusader was mo' bettah' ...

But can you imagine strappin' on a A/B-'ing, fire-breathin' MONSTER like the F-11 Tiger as a STUD in Beeville or Kingsville???

Can you??? WOW!! What a ride!!!

I love the 'sader... particularly this monster that lost out to the phantom.

 

[Mumbles]

but Heinemann's Ford was a beast as well.

I was too late for the F-11 unfortunately.

But I did get some time as a stud in VT-24, in the single-seat, AF-9J.

No AB, and not great lines, but we could get it transonic … on a good day. Another Grumman Ironworks' workhorse……….

Dr Milt Bank at ASO was one of the studs who got to fly the Tiger and had some great "Today the Navy is good" tales.

It really is the perfect looking fighter. It's the one we all drew in our notebooks in grade school, pointy nose, bubble canopy and everything swept back. No one EVER drew a V-22 in those margins!

Most planes (mine all seemed to be prop fighters) I drew in my notebooks had sharks teeth too. Perfect nose art for those of us who can't draw hot chicks.
