Jim,do you remember when they played Yellow Submarine till we all got sick of it, So they raffled it off ,and the winner could do anything they wanted with it. The Country western guys got ahold of it and broke it and threw it overboard.So much for a carrier at war eh?:mrgreen:

Look in the aircraft section for a post on how to make canopies. I'm about to submit the photos. BILL
