This plane's fuel tank burst and caught on fire during aerial re-fueling, and the pilot, 1st Lt. Cliff Judkins had to bail out the old-fashioned way.

Nice one Cory. That must have been a bit of a job, climbing out of a Crusader instead of using the bang seat!

I obviously missed this on yesterday Cory, probably to intent on getting my own thread up. Needless to say, what a great choice and SNAP, the same kit and I'll be honest, I'll be keeping a close eye on your progress. This is already turning out to be a fun build.

Great choice Corey - great looking aircraft, and I was always fascinated with the full-wing airbrake!
