RE: Johnny's Red Tail
RAM BRO, that jet belongs to the 302nd fighter squadron stationed here at my base, Luke AFB, AZ. It is not flown anymore, but the tail still sits in front of the squadron headquarters. The 302nd's ancestor squadron was that of the tuskegee airmen. I have a buddy that is a pilot over there and he gave me the run down for the purpose of my yellow f-16. Nick

RE: Johnny's Red Tail
Johnny, that thing looks AWSOME!! I LOVE IT!!!
I love the paint job you did on that thing, and the weathering is outstanding. Now that you finished the F-16 does that mean you are going to finish the SU-27 next? I cant wait to see you work your magic on that one too. Maybe when I come out there for Lake Whales in two weeks you can give me some pointers on how you finish your planes... Good luck with it at Markham Park this weekend, I'm sure you will take all the wood with that thing Papi....go easy on Bryce bro, He's been good to you.
Later,
Dave

Johnny, how does the red tailed one compare in size to your Tiger striped one or the one that the Chinese team brought to Top Gun?

Hi Hotel Sierra, I will post pictures of the Big F-16 with the AD 16. AD's much smaller and much lighter of course. The AMT F-16 that you saw at Top gun is only 9 inches bigger than mine and bout 26 Lbs heavier so Yes it was amazing and awesome but in the air and this is just my opinion I think the Kitty ( tiger F-16 ) handled better in every way . Now the AD 16 smokes them both in the air.
Strawboss ( Dave ) the SU 27 is ready and will be test flown before Lake Whales so dont worry, the Red Tail is all yours for that show I'll take good care of here so you can go to town with her.

RE: Johnny's Red Tail
Johnny, I hear there are some "Red Tailed Jamaicans" there at Markham Park that want to take over.....how are they excepting the birth of your masterpiece? Do they want you to join there Red Tail Club now? I hear there are 32 of them and they call themselves the 332 or something like that, do they have room for a 33'rd Spanish,Itallian,Portugese, Cuban?.........and to tell you the truth, I think you have a little Jewish in you as well!!! Anyway, Show those guy's who's boss Papi.....maybe you can make some money by charging them $5 each to take pictures next to your plane!! Thats $160 bucks!!!
On a serious note, good luck to all Jet pilots at the Markham Park Jet rally this weekend, I hope everyone fly's safe and has a good time with no damage........no matter what color your tail is!
See you in Lake Whales,
Dave

RE: Johnny's Red Tail
some more pics, the story of the 332nd Red tail jet Club of Ft Lauderdale is funny as it is a FRIENDLY challenge at the FT Lauderdale jet show this weekend, So I basically went ahead and got this jet done after the Tuskeege Airmen *** By Request II *** and added 32 Kill mark bombs as the 332nd Red Tail Club of Ft Lauderdale currently has 32 members so each bomb says 332 for each and every member they have

Hi Vin
On my 16 the fuse is one piece, its been glued and re-inforced with carbon fiber strips and a bit of Glass so its very strong.

RE: Johnny's Red Tail
Today the Redtails dominated the Ft. Lauderdale Jet Fly Together. Johnny we were really looking forward to the challenge of kicking your butt in the air, but unfortunately the bombs made the plane too heavy. Tomorrow try only to bomb a few of us at a time and keep the plane in the air.
Hope you will have the plane ready for tomorrow.
