I had a Skyhawk swizzle stick like that once, but I gave it to a friend who flew A-4's in Nam and didn't have a swizzle stick of his own!:wink:

Oh, and by the way, Nice shot Roger!

I saw your home featured in that "man cave" show. All I can say is that I am really jealous of your understanding and patient wife. She sure is a keeper! Good idea to give her and the kiddies some attention between projects... :wink:

I made my wife watch that episode by the way. It didn't do me any good though! :?

At this time I will not be working on Corsair 92304. I moved it out of my shop early this summer. I will not comment further on that situation or the owner.

When I do anything else in the future it will be just as exciting, if not more so. Jack, do you think thats a fair statement?

Very pretty aircraft, the problem being, now you have to KEEP it clean!! That gloss paint should help with that. Very nice air-to-airs, and Rogers ground shot is very nice too....
