That's awesome! I can almost smell the JP-4 turning into the "sound of freedom" Cheers...Ron

Got my E model on Thursday! Very nice kit. Will have to get "another one" and build it as a Thunderbird F-4E! Cheers...Ron

That's awesome! I always liked the 105 in the bare aluminum or "Project Look alike" aluminum paint. Cheers...Ron

It was part of the Rapid Deployment Force in the 80's. Every Herk base had several desert C-130's. Then when Iraq invaded Kuwait and we all deployed for Desert Shield when we could use the desert paint everything was European 1 and there was no hiding that! I liked the desert paint...thanks for posting those! Cheers...Ron

Nice Photo Phantom! 📷 Cheers...Ron

Awesome Tomcat! Miss that big bird!

That's awesome! Loved the F-5E Aggressor! Hauled 8 new F-5E's to the Aggressor squadron to Clark AB and carried their old T-38's to the boneyard in a C-5.

2500 hours in the C-130E/MC-130P/H as a loadmaster...loved every day in the Hercules! Another 4000 hours in the C-5A/B and some exotic JSOC airplanes.

Good to see a 17th SOS AC-119....I was in the 17th at Kadena 1993-1996 flying the Handsome, sleek, high performance MC-130P Combat Shadow as a loadmaster. Cheers...Ron

Make it a Combat Talon with the back end open doing a HSLLADS drop! Those were awesome! Cheers...Ron

Awesome F-80! Metal finish looks really good and the PSP base looks real too! Great job! Cheers...Ron

Beautiful Skyhawk! Loved watching them fly! Great job! Cheers...Ron

Most of the carpetbagger aircraft were just black with the tail number. There was a "D" model named "PLAYMATE" that was on the nose and I think "Screaming Mimi" was the nose art on that B-24 when it was still green over gray.

Thank you...but I have that book too! Being a special Ops guy it's almost required reading. Cheers...Ron

Awesome F-4E...My Phavorite version of the USAF Phantom! Well worn 388th TFW/Korat AB bird. Back seat USAF crewmember was a WSO...not a GIB! Other than that...excellent job! Cheers...Ron
