UPS gal just delivered my latest project to ChuckMK23 HQ! 1/48 late model F-14A. This particular kit is wings forward only and takeoff flaps/slats - and included launch bar and gear in 'kneeled' position. Also includes cool CV deck diorama base already finished with Shooter figure. Should be a fun build

Does the shooter look passed off and grumpy VP guy that has to do a boat tour?

This baby showed up at work today! T-28A. Owner said it was an Air Force trainer from 1946-49. Definitely our most unique visitor so far

Repo flight today in the mighty G-8. It's a hauler with 300 HP Lycoming and the 2 bladed prop from the Piper Malibu. But no amount of HP can overcome what is a very draggy airplane. Manufactured in India, assembled in Australia. No AP, but an all Garmin flight deck. A handful to fly solo.

I see you guys are smoking the same Canadian “hard air” that we’re getting along the east coast. The sky is literally piss yellow this morning.

Exactly. A 3 hour leg to Alpena CRTC in northern Michigan today - expect more/worse.

I wish…those were before my time.

I do have some early 1970s Hasbro GI Joe action figures [THEY ARE NOT DOLLS!!!]…pictured below is my Sea Adventurer who is utilizing the almighty “Kung Fu Grip” to show off one my Speedmasters [I HAVE FOUR SPEEDMASTERS AND @ChuckMK23 ONLY HAS ONE!!!]…
