Eating crow now Eddie! Don't know why I said the 104, I should've knownit was a 106 from past chats with the Col.
I've got his CD of the the film from the Detroit Nationals circa 1962 (I think). I had the opportunity to watch the 104s come and go at KPIE several years ago, really are like rockets. The 105, thats the Thud isn't it? No military background here, just grew up with a Marine Pop who hadplanes in his blood and passed it on!
Thanks for the info on the F7F Colonel, my brother and I hope to get a F7Fkit (Bridi's or other) and have it airborne for Pops before too much time passes. Appreciate your passing on the info; and you have an email regarding your manual. Thanks.
