See here...  http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=15610.msg192467#msg192467  But that is all I could find.

Nice video..as much as I like anything '36, the 52 was the clear winner here.

The P-61 was one of the largest plastic model aircraft I put together.  Using all my allowance for a month, I believe it was in 1/48 scale.  I saw a real one last summer at Wright -Patterson in Dayton.  Nice.

As we're talking aircraft here....news from the USAF Museum in Dayton...

http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123372682

I'm proud to say that I helped fund this addition, albeit a very very very small portion. ;)

Ground breaking sometime in the spring of '14.

Somehow I doubt that....  I do give you an A for imagination, though. ;)

Here's one (MK-20) from 2 squadron....Aussie, I think.  PRAB Vietnam taken some time between 67-68.  A few F-100s from the 352nd TFS and some B-57s from the 8th TBS...enjoy.

20 years later we did the same thing with the F-4 Phantom. The F-4 was a formidable weapon but many pilots were wishing it had a gun.
