[simpits-tech] searching for a cockpit

[Jonas Frazier]

Hi:
Thanks for the info. When I was living in Denver,  there was a bunch of old 
military airplanes at the Frontrange Airport. They have(had) an A-7 Corsair, 
  a bunch of ex RAF jets, they resembled Panthers but couldn't tell 'cause 
they were wrapped up,  and an EX RAF twin piston engine. I hope to get the 
twin engine,  it would make a nice restoration project,  or a basis for a 
good sim. All the aircraft are in poor condition though. If any body,  your 
you know of any leads that I don't get,  get in touch with me. Thanks.
Jonas
