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!

Chuck,
Sooo, now that the trainers are done it's time to step up to the main event and rebuild the CORSAIR!!!!
And I sure hope you put it all on your website too! I really enjoyed following the SNJ build.

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....
