    I've always been impressed by how much ordnance the Skyraider can carry....but then one tends to forget just how big that plane is. The " Jug ", in it's day, was considered huge but, as your shots show, the Skyraider is appreciably larger. Nice work.thumb.gif

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.
