VMF,
Im not joking, and I will not buy a Typhoon under any condition.

I thinking about the Skyraider, I like its front, but the tail is just hedious.
I guess I will see what money I have when it comes out.

The A-10 is not happening, so dont need to think about that.

I don’t base the looks of an aircraft as a primary reason to buy it; I buy one based on how detailed and what it contributed to history I would also love to have a Typhoon, heck I would even buy the Boeing P-26A 'Pea-Shooter' but not before the ymake the A-10, F-14, ect.

The ONLY version that may interest me would be a camo vesion. :) I have seen and heard this bird in person and it is not on my top 10 list. :? But the A-10 and Tempest / Typhon is on it. :D The only way I would get one is when they put it on half price at Wal-Mart. Wait a sec it is a Admiral product . :shock: Oh well eh :? :? :?

Woohooo!


The Typhoon didn't do much? It pretty much single handedly won the battle of Falaise Gap and was the scourge of german armour the last two years of the war.

Anyway, how did we get talking about the Typhoon? There isn't one coming out. The Skyraider's going to be fab.
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

Don't get the wrong idea fellas . I like Admiral planes :D I have 1 original Saber a camo Saber and 2 Me-262's. But if I were to get into Nam planes the F-4 Phantom and A-6 Intruder would be must haves. But the Sandy? :?

Hey Aferguson don't foget about the V-1. The Meteor and the Typhoon were the only ones that could catch it. But your right this about the Sandy. :wink:

Anyone that thinks they don't like this bird needs watch Flight of the Intruder..

Do it, Sandy. Lay it in on me, man. I'm popping smoke.

Do it, Sandy.

Do it now, I'd do it for you.

The A-1 has such a history, it managed to shoot down a couple of Mig-17's it fought in two wars. Was involved in numerous search and rescues in Vietnam. Plus there is a really good Medal of Honor story connected to it. I've seen one up close and it reeks of toughness. To me its the father of the A-10.
