More news.......66 model, good chance you can look into the historical records and see combat service in Vietnam. All those aircraft have "Military Historicals" I think the VHPA (www.vhpa.org) also may have info IF it served in combat. The 74 models were some of the last off the line and should be in very good shape , albeit what the sand dunes did to them.....
I would certainly like to put one through the paces again, they are a fun machine. Load them up till the RPM bleeds and then its a running takeoff. When it quits making sparks, your airborne......................BUT still not as fun as the Cobra........
