Default Jet / pilot association

No not the JPO or any other organization.

This morning I let my dog out and I glanced at a pile of books and stuff and saw my BVM Bobcat XL manual sitting there and immediately John Redman came to mind.

Got me thinking, I've been in this turbine game 23 years this year and seen some awesome jets and met some awesome people.

Who do you associate with a particular model when you see one? Maybe it was a build thread or maybe it was the first time you saw that particular jet.

Here is some of my list.

CAI Raptor - Karl Hibbs
BVM F4 - David Reid
BVM F86 - Dan Avila
JMP Firebird - Tom Cook
JMP Hustler - Victor Montalbano
Mibo A10 - Billy Edwards
BVM kingcat - Vern and Larry Kramer
BVM Super Bandit - Justin Sands
Kangaroo - Dean Wichmann
Top Gun Mig 29 - Roy Holt


The list could carry on a long time I'm sure but those were definitely some of the lasting impression models that stick in my mind as iconic in this hobby.
