Is the f-16 repairable? I may interested if it is and if you would want to sell it.

I will have my Elan up for sale at the event, most everyone has seen this jet fly and can confirm its positive status, I am selling it just as I Fly it, Needs nothing,
Pro-link gear, Jetcat p-70 propane start (I will provide a full propane bottle and dreamworks valve that I use) , 2 fromeco 2600 packs (bought this year) ,spektrum ar12020, powerbox double regulated switch, JR servos, BVM smooth stop brake valve, Jet tech split fuel/smoke tank, (will also give the large stock tank) great working smoke system (Sullivan), Everything works great, jet flies, fantastic, and has to be the easiest landing jet out there period, I will fly it at bomber,,
I am not looking to rake anyone, just wanting to sell it for what I have in it, 2300 ready to go, 2200 if you don't want the 12ch spectrum receiver.
I would also be willing to possibly trade even up for a problem free 30lb class turbine,Jetcat p120se/sx Titan, kingtech k140, jetcentral cheetah, No AMT, RAMS ETC,,

I will be posting this in the classifieds, but wanted to give the local guys a shot at it first,,,

Robert,

Our plans are now to arrive Thursday after lunch. Sure would like to know how it looks out there to get an idea of whats going on. I'm sure the runway/taxiway's are fine, more concerned about parking... Let us know if you have any updates and thoughts. I would at this point consider renaming the event to " Humid as Hell Jet Rally ", because that's what it's gonna be !! Give me a call when u can.

Actually, don't know how wet it is over in Monaville, but in Houston, it's not really been much more than a few days of typical rainstorms in a row.

Ronnie, let me tell what really happened in Mississippi.
Chevy pulls out Dodge. Dodge told to stay on the porch
Chevy gets stuck, Ford pulls out Chevy.
Chevy redeemed himself by finding a stuck Ford, Chevy pulls out the Ford.
Everyone happy except the FBO at airport. We kinda made a few ruts.

I don't know who pulled on who... All's I do know is that Bob Price was the first one to get stuck... That mud is 100% analog !!! He never had a chance...

I should be there tomorrow before noon, see you guys there, I got chain in the back of my truck,,, Losing my 16 last week really sucks, I had just got it all dialed in with the ordnance,still really upset, but it wont keep me down, a couple of months of OT at work and I will be able to get a new airframe. Until then, I did get my yellow F15 in today, I like it, Now I just gotta get it all together...AS of now worked out a deal with another member he has Dibs on the ELAN, supposed to meet him Saturday, Sorry Fellas, he was first in line,,

It lived up to it's name, yesterday. It was HOT. Lots of good flying. My grandson had a great time flying his OS.91 powered JMP Starfire II and his EDF F-16.
Robert is doing everything he can to insure that everyone has a good time.

After living here in TX for 18 years, I finally had a chance to fly at Bomber Field. Thanks to Robert Bernal and the club for putting on a great, humid event! Only rained on late Saturday, but people flew afterward... Cloud cover kept the temps down a bit from what they could have been. Nice field! Tons of pit area... I even took a few pics of the famed Tu-95 Bear hanging in the Quonset hut... I saw it fly (as a spectator) here probably 10 years ago...
