  1. Joe, Sorry to hear about your illness. Take care of yourself and get better. We need guys like you around for a LONG time!
  2. Hey CJ, has this project "died on the vine"? What you have done so far is nothing less than amazing! I would love to see it completed. Are you considering selling some printed components or even the STL files? Mike
  3. I was able to go into Dropbox and download the files. Many thanks. Mike
  4. Went to the movies last night and saw The Blue Angels in IMAX. Typical documentary about a year in the life of the Blue Angels - BUT - the formation flying in IMAX format was mind blowing! Mike
  5. Unfortunately, no. The wife trumped the open house. So, instead of going north to Castle, we went south to Los Angeles to see the grandkids. Sorry. Mike
  6. If I go, I will try to get some photos for you.
  7. Castle Air Museum, in Atwater, CA, has a true T-bird F-4E. It has #5's markings, but I THINK it was actually #4. Saturday, May 18 is their annual "Open Cockpit Day", where you can get up close and personal with the jets. Mike
  8. For any other photos, you would need to contact RedHome Aviation. I found him on FaceBook. He lives near Tinker AFB in Oklahoma City and that's where he gets most of the photos he posts. Seems like a cool guy.
  9. Redhome Aviation has captured a few photos of B-52H 60-0034 "Wise Guy" in the process of being reactivated to flight status after being in storage at AMARC. Mostly bare metal with, what appears to be, dark blue accents. Talk about "panel lines" . . .
  10. The Navy bought just one "J" from the RAF because neither the U.S. Navy or Air Force could spare one and Lockheed was backed up with orders. The C-130T's were all grounded due to airframe issues at the time, so Fat Albert was not usable and the Blues had no other support aircraft available. The RAF had all their short-body "J" models in storage, so we bought one from them.
  11. There is also one at the Castle Air Museum currently under restoration.
  12. The California Air National Guard's 144th FIW in Fresno just unveiled an F-15C in a special commemorative paint finish. Here is a link to the news story and a couple of photos from their facebook page. https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/digital-exclusive/fresnos-144th-fighter-wing-debuts-new-patriotic-paint-design/
