Just thought of something cool....

Post by Dpanzerman » Mon Aug 28, 2006 6:12 pm

Just imagine the fun (and total Ceiling dominance) of a 1/18th B52G. :twisted:

Saw a "BUFF" Today and just had that little thought.

I know, won't happen...but it IS a new aircraft to think of. Also made me think of a B29. So they should hurry up and make my F4...because I just proved it isn't TOO big. :lol:

Just think of hooking up the string of 1000 pounders dropping out of the belly.

My great uncle fly during world war II in B-17’s and Vietnam he flew B-52’s and he was a B.G and then got busted down to Col for telling LBJ off He was upset about the political Influence over bombing sites and Sam installations in the North.

I even seen the letter of reprimand he hangs in his den so proudly, he once told me he would rather be in the air risking his life then in DC playing golf and drinking at the Officers Club. He retired from the Air force in the late 70’s.

I would say it is closer to 1/8th scale than 1/6th, too bad they crashed it. Really neat RC jet.
