[simpits-tech] F-16 Cougar - Need Your Feedback!

[Rod Dale]

Well done Marv, it's a pity it won't fit into a REAL aircraft, ie - F-111
:-)
Seriously though - that's magnificent detailing, you should be very pleased
with yourself - and you should be knighted as well. How does Sir Marv, Earl
of Simpits sound ?
Never mind me, I've had a few celebratory drinks tonight - son # 2 just
graduated from RAAF recruit training and is off to his next phase of
training. He tells me he wants to work around F-111's - now am I proud of my
son OR WHAT  ? :-)
