Navy A-6 Intruder VA Squadron Reunion Dinner

[Marco Polo]

One of our customers, John Brooks, sent us pictures from a recent Navy A-6 Intruder reunion dinner in which many of the VA squadron Commanding Officers took their pictures with our beloved Freewing A-6 (VA is the Navy's designator for fixed-wing attack aircraft). Even the CO of the USS Forrestal VA115, which our plane is modeled after, was at the dinner. John said there was over 13,000 A6 flight hours in that single room. True American heros.

I wish I could have been there, what a treat to have so many aviators with such a storied history in the same place at once. I am happy Mr. Brooks enjoyed his Freewing A-6 Intruder so much enough to share it with his military family.

Just, wow! Looks like those heroes enjoyed seeing the model as much or more as we did at seeing them with it! Well done, John! I'd sure love to see a video showing each one's face at first glimpse of the RC plane.

Just........WOW!!!
