I am 56, and my Dad has been gone 10 years, I'll never forget him picking up many of the toy aircraft that I had, and making flying noises as he performed loops and rolls and wing overs. Brat

I am with you there bro. I am 57 this year and my Dad has been gone ten years himself.

Not a day passes that I do not think of or remember him...and miss him. But I know with a certainty where he is, and I also know that in due course I we will be there with him and our other loved ones and our Saviour. God bless you my friend.

My Dad served at a combat officer in the US Navy in the PTO in WW II, then came home and became an aeronautical Engineer and spent his carreer at Vought Aeronautics designing and build airplanes (F-7 Cutlass, F-8 Crusader, XC-142A, A-7 Corsair II) before moving into missiles and particularly into hypervelocity missiles. I can remember sitting listening to him talk about the war and his experiences, and then about his job and what he could tell us of it. I remember hearing in the news about projects he was working on and how he intnently listened to that news and then gave us all the "truth," about what was happening with this or that program...of course, only to the ecxtent he could talk about it.

I do build model aircraft as well. 1/72 scale. I find them big enough to do significant detail, but also small enough to display them reasonably and at a reasonable cost.

There is an excellent F-35B 1/72 scale model of the Joint Strike Figher by Fujimi. In fact, it is the only decent 1/72 scale model of the JSF out there, but they are hard to find.

I am in between ship models now and will be building this model this week. Here are some pictures of it out of the b

Understood.

Then might I suggest you seeing if there is a "Hobby Town," store in your area? They are an excellent brick and mortar store and carry a lot of inventory. They will probably have to order this in for you, but you could check and see if they have it.

If not, they would get it in, in a few days.

Here's a link to my Build-up of the model, which I have now completed:

Update!!! Jeff posted this video two days ago on youtube!
