Oh, and VMF, yours might have been good, but you can't pull the trigger at 3 am!!!

So where was your AFD Joke??????

This was all a joke? A joke you started BEFORE April Fools Day?

Well, you got me, Plane Nuts. Yes indeed, you got me.

I'm going to miss you...

I stand by my wish list, though, just in case any of the manufacturers are watching and thinking "what if..."

Where am I going?? Is it sunny and warm??

Yes, I set it up (just shortly) before the day, but you bought well into the day...and that was with two other attempts going off around me!! See my above on how to do a successful prank!!

I thought an ADF Joke was to start on Apri first and not March 31.

A good AFD joke is always a good AFD joke - no matter when it starts.

Then why did you think it was a prank at 10:48pm PDT on the 31st???

It was April Fools Day somewhere!!

I've always thought the best ones happen when they are set up when no one is looking. But that's just me. Sorry to get so many worked up!! I thought I left a few stinking holes that would surely get people to doubt it.

If only you could see the message I got today!! Apparently I drew the attention of some important people, and may have put some ideas into some people's heads. And the best part was, I made the whole thing up on the fly. I didn't know what the "model" was going to be until well after it was started, and only picked the Predator because I wanted to change my avatar as a hint and had it lined up to be next from my queue of pictures.

But don't worry, TKO, I won't let anyone know what's really due up next!!!
