    Default My Kitfox 5

    For those that haven't seen her yet, here is my "new" (to me) Kitfox 5. The only changes to the paint will be the 1X1 replaced with the Gen Hap Arnold Star and Wings, "Pilot Big John" will be removed, and US Navy will be replaced with US Air Force.

    Hmmm, with that change wouldn't you be worried that you'll forever need to
    find glass smooth 12,000 foot runways in order to land?

    Just remember, when the Air Force builds a new base, the first thing they build is the Officer's Club.

    I thought they started with the golf course

    My near 3 years on exchange with the USMC taught me that maybe the USAF had the better idea than finding a swamp and installing tents.....with a rifle range

    Not at all. AF pilots are good to go since we don't need tail hooks to help us stop.
