This came out of Isreal and has some interesting features.
There was a winch installed and I was told it was used for low level cable cutting in the 6 day war. They were used to cut telephone lines to disrupt communications.
Jim's P-51C has a spinner that has some interesting grooves cut in it and I am told it came from one of the cable cutters which got too low and wrapped a section of telephone line around the prop and spinner.

Also, is there any way to come to chester Country to do a photoshoot of the Princess? I'm from just outside Philly myself and have yet to see this aircraft. I've seen you fly at numerous shows including Willow Grove, McGuire, Pennridge, NE Philadelphia, dover etc.. and have always liked your performances. I was stationed at NASJRB Willow Grove for 12 years and you were one of the regulars at our shows. I understand Frenesi is being redone, is that correct? If so, will it remain as FRENESI? any changes to the paint scheme?

Just picked up Warbirds Intl today and found an article on the cable cutting missions flown by Twilight.
