Hi Dave,

Looked for you, but they told me you didn't make it.......

Yeah , sorry about that. Last minute military trip. But on the brightside, I found another warbird sitting around! See C-47 found post im about to thread!

They even had an old flying C-130A there for you to inspect.

good thing i wasnt there! Probly. would have grounded it for a million write ups! I have my hands full here with new broke one, so cant imagine the damage Id do to that one!

Funny, I imagine your first check mark would be that it's an A model.

No thats CAPflyers motto i believe!

I am bad enough having a J model! Anything model of any type of aircraft is terrible to have when it is first entered into service!

I've don't have any decent pictures of this bird, as she was parked pretty tight for photos and a quick shade magnet.

for an A model, she looks like she has H model wings and engine with 4 bladed props. She's a hybrid, just not of the gas saving type, thats for sure!
