Well personally I find it hard to believe that Dean Cutshalls plane is that clean......being that I work for American Airlines in the maint. and eng'ring dept , and been on the acceptance flight from Boeing on numerous B777,757,767 acft.even these planes are somewhat dirty with only a few hours on them......I think the judges from Top Gun should give extra points for real weathering,paint fade, scratches, dents......don't get me wrong, there are alot of real nice looking planes out there, but when it comes to war birds(jets) you won't find a clean one anywhere. David Hudson actually is scratch building a F8 with skin wrinkles already in the mold.....now that is pure genius.......ask BVM to do that with one of his high dollar birds................Perry
