I had to shove my eyes back in my head after seeing that. Very awsome.

Chasing the ultimate build.

Damn, that's crazy! I guess the whole "any landing you can walk away from" definitely applies! Curious, how is the lighting pilot controlled?

 

Pilot controlled lighting...

The runway and taxi light come on at dusk...for an hour, then go out.

To turn them on, 3 clicks on the mic button(radio/unicom) will turn em back on at low intensity, 5 clicks for medium, 7 clicks for high. They'll stay on for 15 minutes then lights out.

More info...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot-controlled_lighting...it's a fairly short read!

Thanks for the link fermis. Very interesting system that I'd never heard about. I imagine it saves a ton of money for the airports with not having the lights burning 24/7.

Very nice work on the F-107.  I have a couple of those in the stash that I had planned on making both of the test birds.  After seeing your SEA camo job, I will probably do one that way.  The only other possibility would be an operational WIF in natural metal.

That looks cool. For some reason the camo just fits. John
