    that's awesome! hope it passes!
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the cockpit, engines, and all avionics are taken out of the one at the AAM :( :(

    I think, the odds are, the Collings foundation will be taking one out of the Boneyard or something of the like for restoring the airworthy aircraft.

    Anyway, consider this..the Foundation already flies an F-4, A-4, UH-1, and a couple Mig-21s. If this thing gets flying, and add in the LSFM UH-1, A-1, and a couple A-26s as well...imagine the possibilities for the future of Vietnam re-enactments!

    I think this is an awesome idea. Too bad the Tomcat will probably not get the same chance here in the USA. I have a wood model of one right next to my computer down in Florida.
