"We got our own ammunition. It's filled with paint. When we fire it, it makes pretty pictures. It scares the hell out of people. We got a loudspeaker.
When we go into battle, we play music very loud. It kind of... calms us down."

Man, she came out alot better lookin than u let on David, great job man.... Didnt know also that u were in the beginner level.....
Thank you. The lack of a close up lens hides some problem areas. It is the first plane I have completed in over 30 years. I guess I will move up a level for MTO.
