Well there is that...

What you need are some bombs. :)  If you can find me some scaled drawings 
of the type that would be "appropriate" for that era, I'm sure I could 
draw up a set of plans for you.

BTW, I hope you haven't trashed that big screen TV yet.  I'm going to take 
some pics this weekend that illustrate the idea of re-purposing the screen 
assembly out of one of those things using a small projector.

Rob and I did a set-up test to see how the windscreen and canopy clipped 
the view and it was just perfect.  I can't wait to try a flight in that 
thing - it's going to be just f'ing awesome I think. :)
