Still one of the coolest planes to ever take to the skies.....

The sixth skin is almost ready. If everything goes well, at the end of the weekend you'll get the plane. Of course , if you did your chores and eat your cookies as well.

Bell XFL-1 Airabonita (1940)

Nose jobs - Israeli style. The TC2 though does not look that bad.

I lived there for 10 years and that's where I had my first flight I was 7 :)

Once upon a time, I drove an Impala

Bell FL-1A Airabonita - VF-6, United States Navy, 1942

Aerodrom Guyancourt, a smaller airfield with two parallel runways. Civil used.

Then you would not have been a fan of mine. Sea Foam Green, 2-door, it had mag wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagles, a 427, and ALL the toys. But I stood to lose it in a divorce in '89, so I traded it in on a Metallic Blue Skyhawk (a model she HATED), so she wouldn't want it. It served me well throuh my 1st stint @ Eglin, sat in storage for a year during the 1st Gulf War; came out for 6 months, and went back into storage for another year when I went to Kunsan, and survived another year in the Florida heat, hurricanes, (ex-gf's), a 4 year tour in Germany, and finally decided here in Wichita that it had been driven & ridden harder and longer than any Kardashian, and gave up the ghost. Speaking of SkyHawks........

an Impala helped get my Soldier out of trouble (ish) a long time ago back at Bragg so there we were taking a truck with water trailer back to get more water. suddenly the brakes locked up and we swapped ends, doing a 180 turn WITHIN the confines of a two lane road (no tire marks outside the lines). the trailer was a quarter full of water so the sudden shift caused the trailer to tip over as we came to a stop. but nobody hurt (although the other two Soldiers thought I got thrown when i hooped out as soon as we stopped to check the vehicle and surroundings) they tried saying my driver was speeding. i was able to say she wasnt because immediately before this happened i was looking at an Impala and pissed about the rims they had put on a classic car like that. turned out the trailer had an air leak (wasnt ours but the unit we were attached to at that moment) which drained the air tanks in the truck. once the tanks get empty, bam! truck automatically braked itself to a stop. - - - - - - - - - yeah i know long for an off topic bit. heres a plane

yeah, Navy Phantoms didnt carry LGB at all. they left that to the birds in the VA squadrons but its your install, there are no mistakes. go bomb that happy little tree over there ------------------------------- Makos over the Adriatic

"Cheating" on my mission by installing a Pave Spike on my F-4. As far as I know (which isn't much admittedly) that the US Navy didn't carry the Pave Spike, but it's usable on my jet anyway, just so I can use LGBs without flying a Strike mission in-game.

Getting off the deck is the easy part. There's always a critic in the audience waiting to blow up your performance.... I had some operator control issues on the landing.... Kinda drifted on the touchdown Talk about getting it stopped at the Last Second......
