| FNG Hello all. I just joined up. A friend from another site told me about this one. I hope I measure up. I am a retired USAF F-4 pilot. I fly Boeing 767s for an airline. My pet project is an 82% F4U Corsair replica I am building. I was also building a full scale Nakajima Ki-27 (Nate), but some idiot broke into the hangar to rob it and decided to burn it down on his way out. I hope to find him some day. My Corsair has a web site if anyone wants to visit. (Nothing is for sale on my site) The Corsair82 - F4U-1A Corsair Homebuilt Aircraft Kit

| Welcome O pilot IRL!!! As for the @sshole who burned down your Kate...as a Buddhist and therefore a believer in reincarnation, I hope in his next life he becomes a pilot who gets a flameout on every takeoff! |

| Hello and a warm welcome from England. Really sorry to hear about your 'Kate', let's hope the f***wit ignites himself the next time he tries something like that! And, Oh boy! The F4! Love to hear some more about flying those monsters - very nearly got a back-seat ride (crash dummy, as Joe described it so nicely!) in a RAF FGR2. Did all the tests, training, including decompression, ejection etc, then at the last minute, the MoD put a block on it! Oh well! At least I got to 'fly' the simulator! Terry. |
