I got pictures of the Frankenscooter too, Rich. Though it was hard to see the airplane because of the grin on Maj's face ! I talked to him today, he's still pumped !

Dave, who flew it ?

OUTSTANDING!

Can't wait to see it in the air. And after what Rich said, maybe we can have a 3-Ship A-4 Flight in 2011 for the Centennial of Naval Aviation!

Here's a few photos from the backseat of our L-39.






Rick, We had Sid S come up and test fly it then bring it home today. Quite an interesting day. I'll post more of how the day went when I recover from today. Glad to hear another Scooter may fly soon. Who's would that be?

Maj is making us a Fiberglass Mustang Prop w/Spinner to hang on the hangar wall. Were going to paint it like Bald Eagle.

He is one of those legends in the making.
Maj and I were roommates for a while in AZ. A great guy.

There is an A-4 under restoration to fly in the Tucson, Arizona area. Anybody know anything about this one? I think it may be for FHC but I'm not certain.

Wow, I just posted a reply and got bumped by a simultaneous post??? Here goes again.

Pretty loose formation don't you think? You all have to be real proud and congrats to you. I am jealous... You get to have way too much fun.

Don't mean to hijack, Dave, but here is another !

This is the one under restoration in Houston. But there is a looonnnngggg way to go. Just getting started. Talk about two ends of the spectrum !

Wow, the Scooter is becoming popular! Awesome stuff! What is the story on the Frankenscooter? I might need to take a trip to Tucson soon!
