DOOGS, TROUBLEMAKER, JBRADY - I appreciate the interest and I do like aircraft but I will have to decline on having them.  I was really focusing on the ground forces.  Often find them to be overlooked on here and other places.  If you have any thing that falls into the categories listed above I would be glad to have you.

CARL, ANDY - Happy to have ya and will see you on the beach.  Dont worry there will be enough BeerBeer for the both of yaYes
