FlameOut 1 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Sorry not to have replied, elderly family health issues. I knew there were several restoration type air forces, Commemorative, Confederate, Planes of Fame, and the like. I had just never heard of the Cactus Air force. Here we only have air shows about every other year or so. Thanks for the mention of the avatar I use; yes it is old "Freddy Flame Out". The popular 1960's plastic model kit created by Bill Campbell the original designer of the Hawk Model Kits ....the “Weird-Ohs”. I do not have the proper avatar "size"..it is chopped off fore & aft. I'll have to work on that. Here is a link to a model site where you can read about Mr. Campbell : http://www.oldmodelkits.com/blog/plastic-model-kit-history/a-biography-of-bill-campbell-box-artist-for-hawk-plastic-model-kits/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
