I know you guys understand what it takes to get here from six years ago and I appreciate the words of encouragement. I hope I can return the favor to future builders as I make my way to a proven aircraft platform. Terry, (others) My paint scheme is from the F-14 Tomcats on board the U.S.S. Nimitz, VF-84 Jolly Rodgers. I painted K.T. In place of A.J. As noted, K.T. is short for Karetaker, my call sign while doing air combat on line. Most all the planes I do combat with have this custom "painted" paint scheme on them...modified to fit the individual aircraft. It would be cool someday if I am approached by someone at a fly in whom recognizes my plane solely from doing A.C.M on line.
