Mach III had a three blade razor.. So maybe were looking at a three blade prop? Hellcat or Dauntless is my bet... :?:

SAD = (I have no idea!)
Flies = jet
Gillette = Stealth (He said they had one several years ago. Gillette used a Dodge Stealth as their Le Mans racer several year ago. And there is a famous photo of a F-117 flying over Gillette stadium.

Therefore: Stealth Fighter

I know... probably not. :oops:

I would not mind an F-117 Thanks Jason for that insight. Even if we dont get one from Bbi....Hint.... Hint :lol:

What ever it is I hope it comes with adequate ordinance and moving flight controls

WOW I would love to have an F-117 in my collection!!!

Jason that is an interesting connection......how about taking one step further:

Gillett = Dodge = Stealth = "Mitsubishi" GT 3000 = Japanese = Kate = Kevin Bacon!

How about this folks? A few years back, Gillette introduced the Mach 3. A fighter jet was used predominantly in their tv ad. I seem to recall it looking like an F-22. Does anyone remember which jet was used in the commercial? Seems like a logical guess based on the clues. I'm still trying to locate a clip of the commercial.

My guess is that Mike will make an anouncement at about 18:30 PDT this evening thats 09:30 Hong Kong Time.

I'm still hoping it will be an A-10 though it seems it is a modern jet we are talking about. While the stealth would be nice I find it rather uninteresting really as a fighter unlike the F-4, F-15, etc.

Hopefully we'll here something by tonight. If not at least we should hear something within the next 24 hours.....hopefully.

Hoping we get to see the A-10 as well.

Still waiting and wishing for a 1/18 A-10 Warthog.

I do remember the jet in the commerical and recall saying to myself what the hack is that? It was a fictional jet but it did have a mix of F-15 and F-22 characteristics.
