    Will there ever be a S2F(Stoof)? About the size of the Tigercat. I'd be in line to buy a couple! My tastes are simple......

              This new release of the P15 looks awesome! I normally stick to the big stuff, but this is one I cannot pass up! What fun. Thanks for another awesome release. Ordered!

                  Hoot lives nearby and often shops at our LHS. He’s a super nice guy.

                    Those might be two different "Hoot" Gibson's. The one I'm familiar with was a Naval Aviator who flew F-4's and later F-14's. He then went on to NASA and became a Naval Astronaut. Piloted and commanded several shuttle missions. Now he races at Reno in the Hawker Sea Fury "September Fury".

                        Always room for just one more...

                        i work on an Army Installation. Last year, I was coming through the gate with the back of my Chevy Tahoe filled with warbirds. The gate guard examines my badge, then cranes his neck to see inside and asks, “Sir, do you have enough aircraft in your vehicle?” To which, I replied, “ Hell no, there’s always room for one more.” He smiled, popped a salute and said, “Carry on, Sir.”

                        There’s always room for one more...

                          Two things kept rolling around my brain last night. First; couldn't the "Hoot" you are all talking about(ie, the clue) be just something as simple as the sound an OWL makes. During WWII the Germans produced a night fighter dubbed The Owl. Just a thought. And, if motion ever does work on the Horten or the 335 my wallet will be smokin'. I would have to add both.

                            THis also would fit the Five Eyes and Foil. The British used Foil to defeat German radar and Five Eyes was, or could be, the reference to the night fighter system of radar and tracking. Again, just a thought.

                              Foil=Window? Five Eyes=can also be camera package, but I like the reference to the ground based guidance for night fighters.

                                As mentioned before, Hoot could be the He-219 Uhu(German for owl). I'd get one.

                                        I could appreciate it because it's unique.
