Word from various Facebook forums is that Dan Jayne, modeler extraordinaire, passed away on March 1, 2016 of an aneurysm. Hoped it wasn't true, but it's been confirmed by more than one source. His cutaway's were true works-of-art.

Wow!! I've been in Chelan on a bike trip. While both vids are impressive, the first one really gives perspective. Thinking about you guys in central Washington. (From a former Western Washingtonian)

Everyone starts somewhere. Two years ago I rode with a charity group (Sea to Sea) and we rode from LA to NY - nearly 3,500 miles in nine weeks. It worked out to be about 70 miles per day, six days a week IIRC. Some people out there were in incredible shape. Some not. No one got left behind. Everyone started somewhere and built up fitness that spring. It just has to become part of your routine. You're not a slug. You just haven't started yet!

Does the A-380 fly into O'Hare - Chicago? Live near Grand Rapids, MI, and saw a VERY large commercial jet flying from the NNE to SSW yesterday Saturday (5/23) afternoon. White jet, red rectangle on the belly (narrows it down to an Emerites jet), but that sucker was huge. Wonder if it might be the A-380. Anyone?

We live near Grand Rapids - about 60 miles away. Heard it before we felt it. (Went through the Nisqually quake in '01 on Whidbey Island.) Sounded like a truck going by (without any doppler effect). Rumble got louder and louder, then the house vibrated. I knew it was an earthquake immediately. The whole neighborhood wondered. Fun to go through one without any major damage or injuries. But it is a fragile world we live on.

I'm in. I'll check the stash. I'm sure there's something I can live without. (Maybe.) ;-)

So, the wife wants me to slim down the stash, since it won't all fit in the closet anymore. She said I had to get rid of stuff - and shouldn't buy any more. However, finder-of-loopholes that I am, that doesn't mean I can't trade for some stuff I want. I've got some wants below, with what I'm offering. As usual with trades, we each pay our own shipping (I'm in zip 49401). CONUS unless extenuating circumstances. Aircraft (with one exception) are 1/48. Armor are all 1/35. All reasonable trades considered. Unless noted, all my kits have open boxes with sealed bags. Contact me off b

I meant the Quinjet - didn't know that was it's name. If they want $135 for the 1/72nd version - man, I was hoping for something 1/48... But $135?!? Well, at least it's out there.

Finally saw Captain America II Great movie BTW. Relevant discussion about security vs. freedom.) Has anyone heard any rumors of a model of the hovercraft VTOL's they had on the hovercarrier? Looks like a really updated version of a V-22: part ground attack, part troop transport. Anything on the rumor mill?

Cool. Thanks

I've been looking at the WW2 archives of the 8th AF. When recording fighters' victories, they list three numbers: 4-0-1, for example. What do the three refer to?

Steve and I just finished a trade - one I hope was mutually beneficial. Great transaction - good communication. Stand up guy!!

Hope it goes well for you. Since the event left the AirZoo, it just holds a lot less interest for me.

Bump I've had some kind offers on other P-40 markings, but I really want to do this one as a "Dutchie." Anyone? -

Have the Has. Prowler. Email sent regarding F-102 trade. -
Jennings, you tease!! I'm figuring it just needs the Dutch insignia on the top of the wings as well. Hmmm. It might never have happened, but it would be a cool addition to the display case. I'm sold. (right click, save) OK, last question -- Sea Blue for the top; what's the lower color, do you think?

Vriendelijk bedankt, jonge!

Wondering... Did the Dutch ever use the F4U Corsairs (whatever variant)? If not, question answered. If so, what markings did they use?
