And I don't look a day ofer 32 ;-). It's amazing what hunting a fewFokkers will do for you. Especially when them Fokkers are Spads. ;-)KenOn Tue, 21 Sep 1999, Gordon Brimhall wrote:> WOW> > You mean you are 102 and building another airplane?> > Capt.

If you live around Kansas City and the infamous Dick Starkes, I'd alsobuild a nice D-VII to go Neiport hunting in. However, I do love hiswritings and loved his book. It's well worth the read. I get someunpublished stuff from him from time to time and just love it.KenOn Tue, 21 Sep 1999, Gordon Brimhall wrote:> Don't say that word to fast, might get tongue tied.> > I thought about building a Fokker and chase the Nieuports.
