I've had as much fun reading this thread as any other, ever. It's great to see people enjoying a real sense of humor!

I really do like the way the Stratalina looks from the air!! It almost looks like it could be an airplane to anyone that doesn't have knowledge of what makes an airplane fly?? Keep workin on it Gary and these west texans will think you're workin on the next space shuttle!! The 4360's should do the trick!

I've been thinking.........I think the Stratolina needs Kilroy on it somewhere. After all, I put him on the nose gear doors on FIFI and on the horizontal stab on Ol' 927, so it only seems right that I put him on this little project, right?

Well, I better go let him out then. I put the lid back on that can a day or so after that picture was taken.
