Ronnie, thats crazy! I also saw those. The flew right over Mebane. Four Gray Hawgs heading south east. I was out in the back yard and thought are they lost? During football season I see an Eagle fly over the house for fly overs at Chapel Hill but I have no idea where the Hawgs were going.

Bill, good move on the A-10 which is a personal favorite. Four of them in overall gray camo flew overhead while I was at Hawks house and we were acting like kids at an airshow. Congrats on being the first Eagle Squad member to complete a model that was awarded to him by the group for the Most Improved Modeler award. I was certain that I'd be the first this year by completing the fantastic Hasegawa Ki-84 but you beat me to it.

Very nice Lt. I can't wait to see it in person. You have a nice touch with your weathering.

Thanks for the comments fellows. Woody sorry I could not make the show. I just have so much going on at work and home that I just could not get away for the day. Lee the gold spinner hub on the motor is actually brass in color. While researching the A-10 I came across a picture of a jet with a brass colored spinner. It was a replacement part and went onto the jet unpainted. I guess they were in a hurry. But I will probably go back and paint it dark green. I do not like the way it looks. See you Sunday

I finished up the A-10 this week and wanted to post some photos. Hope you like it. Thanks to ES for purchasing the kit for me. I liked this kit and would build another one. I wanted to do a sharkmouth jet but I messed up the decals so I went with the more basic decals.
