Cool plane, that F7U. It does love jet fuel though!

Tell you what Moses,

I'll wait in Japan till you get up that far if you promise to let me watch you make some low passes past a few of the locals in that suit you were wearing when you had that avatar pic made......maybe slow enough to allow the canopy to be open,,,,,occasionally raising up in the seat like you're gonna get out of the plane in flight.

I'd love to get some footage of that for Red to make a movie with......rendered black and white of course....

I remember building a model of the USS Forrestal when I was a "lad" and it came with 3 or 4 different aircraft to place on the deck along with a couple of tow trucks and what not. There were some F-9's and I think some F-80's or F-89's maybe, but I remember the mostly the F-7's.

Now that I think about it, that was actually in the fifties ......wow!

Have a good voyage to Edwards!

Hehe, if I can fit into the cockpit wearing the Gorn suit I will give it a shot. Maybe spot Godzilla near Japan and give him heck.

Rgr on the model building. I built a good sized flying balsa model of the Cutlass back in the early 1970's. Have always been intrigued by the design.

That looks about right. Especially that last shot. Was coming in hot with my pants on fire. Speed brakes are your friend.

That's pretty cool. Is that a feature of the duenna, when it's linked to the tracking server?

It does that when you check the box create real time position feed. By setting the event it becomes easier to find on the list.
