Think so John, the '70's just sounds cooler I suppose.

'70's = Dodge Challenger
'80's = K car

Nuff said really...........

Back on track though Mitch, looks like a nice plane regardless. I do hope you fly it. Post some pictures when you get a chance.

It looks a lotta fun
I love the idea of 'precision' bombing.
Very Happy

Pictures on the 'Bay cost .15 cents. (one free) He has 45 pictures. So unless he got some great deal, he paid $6.50 in pictures.

ebay has changed lately. putting more pics on ebay may cost nothing depending on the sellers status and how many items they have sold and their total feedback. many sellers have been invited to put on 50 items per month with no insertion charge and no charge for pictures. things change. happydad Small Cox Logo
