Su-weeet! Thank you Sir! :applause:
Hi Duckie,
fantastic job as usual!!! :applause::applause::applause:
One question to Milton that has nothing to see with this repaint: Is it me or have the number of pages of this topic gone mad... going from 94 to 144 directly and now 194... last time I went to this topic yesterday, the page number was "only" 129... so what happens???
Thanks everyone. :salute::salute:
Sister squadron VS-24 ship should be up by Wednesday evening. Then, it's back the E-1's for a couple more.
Are you suggesting "that's enough?" :kilroy: :icon_lol: Right now I enjoying painting these Grummans AND flying them. Don't know whici I like more. These S2/E-1s are a real joy to fly especially in carquals!
Anyway, plenty of paint on the shelf for the right subject(s), especially if the colors happen to be Sea Blue (Non-Specular) /Intermediate Blue and Dirty White! ? :kilroy: :cool:
Hey Milton, Duckie, et al - I included Al, as you can see - everyone associated with this project has done magnificent work on every aspect of it they've touched, no exaggeration. On a larger, metaphysical scale this is proving people can still perform in a truly outstanding manner for the love of something other than money!
:salute:
I have a question for our planners and project managers. If you explained this in the past, and I am "re-asking" about it, I apologize for my slackness. Somewhere in the dim recesses of my memory I recall seeing photos of S2Fs with a small "football" radome on a pylon above and behind the cockpit. For some reason the USN aircraft with this accessory were, in my memory, in dark blue overall meaning they were early S2Fs.. I know foreign S2Fs had them also. Are these being considered, or is this radome/pylon a possible later attachment?
Duckie, Any chance that you might consider one of Enterprises E-1B's squadron for a texture? VAW-12 Det 65 flew from her for a number of cruises from August 3, 1962 thru Feb 8th 1964. VAW-11 Det M embarked for the final E-1B cruise in Oct 26, 1965. Bill
VS-24, sister squadron to VS-27 on the same cruises together aboard USS Yorktown, 1965 - 1969. Upload tomorrow night.
