BEagle ...

The F104 looks a bit of a handful given the high wing loading ... but Mr Hinton seems very deft at the controls.

Mind you if you cock-up the landing perhaps an appropriate epithet would be the "Poor Maker" given the expense of this type of kit


A little extra for you and Courtney in your Christmas stocking ... sorry no RAF livery

Just in case you ask ... yes ... some have configured After Burners on these model jet engines


For those that appreciate both the engineering and the piloting skills ... prepare to have your socks removed ! I'm sure Shawbury didn't teach some of these handling techniques


Happy Christmas ...

Coff.
