Adding a different flavour:

-28 PLM (Polish AF, MiG-23MF/UB - disbanded 2000 :pray: )

-26 RAB (Bulgarian AF, MiG-21MF/bis/UM, Su-22 - disbanded 2000 :cheers: )

-311 sqn (RNLAF, F-16AM/BM)

-Regt. 91 AV (Romanian AF, MiG-21PF/PFM/U/US - disbanded 2003 :D )

-47 HRE (Hungarian AF, MiG-21/MiG-23 - disbanded 2001 :salute: )

Why do they keep disbanding my fav sqns/regiments? :doh:

Can't be any question as to mine, probably. Very close to completing the complete Jolly Rogers history in 1/72. Wasn't easy; took a TON of research and correspondence, not to mention some serious non-OOB skills since many of these planes and markings are not represented in the marketplace. Recently photographed the set as it stands now, needing a Super Hornet and a few other minor ones.

For me it would have to be VF-111, VF-74, VF-102, VF-101,VFC-13, VFC-12, VMFAT-101, VMFT-401, 64th and 65th Agressor squadrons. OK....I admit it I'm an Red force freak :P , I like any and every Adversary or Agressor squadron that has ever existed or still exist. I know I'm sick, oh well :worship: .

I suppose I might be a putz but I'm a little old fashioned... maybe:

1) Black Sheep (Boyington and the boys)

2) Thunderbirds

3) Blue Angels

4) 492nd Madhatters (F-15E)

5) 213th Blacklions (F-14A)

6) VFA-37 Bulls (F-18)

64th Aggressor

USN: VF-1, VF-32, VF-43, VF-45, VF-74, VF-101, VF©-111, VF-126, VFC-13, VF-111, VF-191, VF-201, VF-211, VF-213

USMC: VMFA-142, VMFA-211, VMFT-401

CAF: No. 419

Demon is the Emhar kit, extensively rebuilt and detailed; Fury is the Falcon conversion kit for the Heller F-86 center wing section, along with lots of bits from the Academy F-86, Aeroclub nosegear and mainwheels, and a lot of scratch building. :)

I didn't mention VF-102 is my second pick, along with VMFA-333 leading the pack for the Marines with me. Plus NFWS for the Adversaries, followed by VF-126/7. And the La Tech Flight Team. :banana:

I have a long standing love for VF-1/3/3b/6/31/VFA-31 (however that chain goes - it's always confusing because of the dual claim to Felix) - working on a similar display as the Jolly Rogers version above, but in 1/48 - now where's my Banshee dammit....

Always like the 57th FIS out of Iceland too, that's another collection I have to build at some point.
