    It'd be a rather interesting fleet to have one of every type of aircraft my Dad worked on during his time in the USAF. IIRC, he said he worked F-102, F-106, B-36, and B-52.

    I'd have better luck getting models of the aircraft I worked on during my time in the Air Force. The C-141 would top the list, followed by the T-39, C-130, C-5, and I actually worked an F-80/T-33 at an ANG base in Portland, Oregon, a couple of times.

    An A-7 Corsair would be awesome. An F9F Cougar would also be a great addition.

    Good to know. I guess that leaves the T1 Hawk, Yak 130 and L-39 as the best EDF trainers available for the foreseeable future.
    Freewing could always do a T-45 Gosehawk variant with a smaller than usual investment using the 70mm T1 Hawk platform they already have. I bet it would out sell the Hawk.

    There is nothing enticing about a $400+ trainer jet that they might crash.

    Very very good point. I'm pretty much in this bracket. Just restarting, I can fly, but still getting dumb thumbs occasionally. That occasional thing has to pass before I start flying the 1/2K+ models.

    What I would like to see is a F4D Skyray, preferably in 70 mm, but would accept a 64 mm as well. And I still have my fingers crossed for a 70 mm XB-70.

    I actually had a small .50 size OV10 several yrs ago in my nitro burning days, it flew very well on two OS .25 nitro burners. The guy I got it from had to be the best builder ever too, you couldn't see a drop of glue anywhere on it and his camo Monokote job was the best I have ever seen as well, bought it from a Hobby store in Bakesfield, Ca. I wouldn't mind having another one, but electric, those twin OS motors made a mess, they sounded really cool though when I got them humming together. It had a nasty stall though when one engine quit, spiraled down until I shut the other engine down, then it floated down into a vineyard and landed in the middle of the row and flipped over without a scratch on it, so I sold it..............LOL
    speaking of the Bronco, check out Junior:

    Me to. Need to replace my fms 1700mm P-51. She is getting tired looking. I am however printing new leading edge of my flaps, ailerons, elevators and rudder and modifiying whe those control surface mat as well to get that "pocket" hinge look. But if MRC comes out with a new P-51, I can stop my design and print project.:)

    LOLLOL The support is there, I figure the OV-10 is inevitable!! In fact, I have an HD FPV setup standing at the ready to drop in the cockpit.

    I think since the last 2 edf releases were modern era, we will likely see a Vietnam era or earlier jet. Hoping that it might be one of the Century Series; F-100, F-105, F-106, or an F9F Panther or Cougar.

    I would take any variant of an A-3 except the one with the Big Nose.

    Unfortunately, I don't expect any US Navy plane any time soon. We'll probably get (3) Whatthe**uks now, then maybe something new, maybe........... I understand they can't all be for me. I hope we actually get that OV-10 though. I can't complain I've got a C-130, Grumman Albatross, and a really cool F-18 coming. I shouldn't be greedy. I'd love it if Flightline made a Lockheed Super Constellation. But I really don't think the anti airliner gang would ever allow it. Unfortunately, there is a large and present body of these sorts in the Motion selection committee. I don't fault them though, it's their party, their rules.
