Disclaimer: I/we@SkyFest take no responsibility for where this thread went. ;) well maybe a little;)

I will let Bob finish what he started.
These a/c are unique (notice I didnt say first time) to our boogie and quite possibly to many others. They are not as unique as some of the guesses but they are great AC, fun to jump and ride!!:)
For me it is an honor to have this particular Pilot join and support our cause, you all know him, he's been around a long time, he even made a few jumps with my father back in the 70's in Texas.

There I did my part...i think;)

Did I miss it somewhere?

Just because the pilot was a VN-era pilot doesn't mean that the aircraft were VN-era aircraft.

Hmmmmm
