Hey Kenny I went to the site and it looks like you need about 88 aircraft for her. I think I would say that they are on sorties and the rest in the hanger bay.Pirate [oX)]

Tony, who will not pick on Kenny anymore.

Nicely rendered, Kenny.  All your work is paying off big time.
I think it will really pop when you get those A/C on the deck.

If it's a snapping turtle, hold a stick near it's mouth and when it clamps down on it, pull it out. Cut the head off and we can all enjoy your world famous turtle soupChef [C=:-)]

36 Aircraft to go and you can put yourself on the front page. then you can finish your auto group build, then you can babysit, then you can open the box for the big guy, then you can go to your son's hihgschool graduation, then you can get halfway through this GB, then you can go to your son's college commencement, then you can prime it, then you can stand up at your son's wedding, then you can decal it and weather it and decree it almost complete when your three-year old grandbaby knocks it off the table and you start all over.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we just don't seem to have the time to give to ourselves. This is two job, 72+ hours per week territory for me until the end of tax season. My wife asked me what I wanted for this past christmas. I said....... Time.

Keep up the good work it is a bueatiful looking build, and I know you will have to FIND time to complete her.

Tony
