Um, guys, have we heard about this ? Any ideas who it is? What plane? This has peaked my interest as it seems there will be at least 2 different exclusives for sale. If anyone has the scoop on which Ace we can expect it would be much appreciated .

i hope they mean a 40's fashion pin up girl since WWII and the Mustang's career was long over by the 50's. (yes, except for korea)

I guess the bigger question is..
Who's going and how many of these can they buy?????
Maybe we'll get lucky, someone will bring a laptop and can give updates on what is being offered..

I'd love to see the new 109G S3 version.. Or a special edition of this plane..

Don't forget Israel!!
But you're right, I was wondering about that - is she dressed 'futuristic' or something

Hworth - I was thinking about that - how close is the PO to the Convention Center A couple of quick trips and someone could really spread the love
