WOW!!! I can smell the JP-5! I can feel the deck shake from the Tomcat in afterburner and the thud of the catapult. I know if it was a snake it would bite me but, did I miss the bomb farm? And of coarse I just have to mention that some one had better move Tilly – she’s blocking a bomb chute! That’s an invitation for a Broken Arrow! Truly fantastic!!!

Ahoy mates,

That is truly a magnificent piece piece of work.

sometime ago.
