How the heck do you get four seats in a mustang anyway? Did he have a couple of those "manpods" slung under the wings?

If I remember the story correctly, he installed a single 'bench' length-wise behind the pilot seat running back. There were 'adjustable' seat backs that you could slide into place, then passengers 'straddled' the bench and leaned back against the seat back. Think of a 4-man bobsled.

He had to modify the turtledeck to accomodate the CF-100 canopy. Looked kind of goofy, but..........well.....it looked kind of goofy.

There are pictures floating around the web if you look for them.

Ah yes...a 7 seat Firefly...modified to take a Merlin instead of a Griffon, with a hand-fabricated radiator intake (note the wing radiators faired over).

Discuss.....

Without stepping on any toes, any chance of posting photos of the t-shirt?

See if this works....a link from a Facebook post that Chris Fahey made of John Hinton wearing the shirt.
