GE F101 Engine GB - Cancelled, unless someone steps forward

[IronMan129]

So here is my idea.
We stage a group build around the General Electric F101 engine and its upgrades for example the F110, F118 and the CFM-56.
That means we can build these aircraft:
Rockwell B-1B Lancer
Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon
McDonald Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle
Grumman F-14 Tomcat
Lockheed U-2 Dragonlady
Northrop-Grumman B-2 Spirit
Boeing B737-300, -400, -500, -600, -700, -800, -900, BBJ, P-8 Poseidon, E7 Wedgetail
Airbus A340-200, -300
Airbus A318, A319, A320, A321
Douglas DC-8-70
KC-135R, EC-135, E-6 Mercury, E-3C, E-3D, upgraded RC-135's, TC-135W, Airseeker R.1,

I think there are more but more research is required.
It's just an idea, if anybody has any input please feel free to comment or PM me.

I've taken the liberty of modifying the title as I thought it was an F-101 Voodoo GB

Thank you.

You might want to add KC-135Rs and RC-135s to that list.

Regarding 707, only one 707 was fitted (upgraded) with CFM-56s as a test airframe, but they were subsequently fitted to the E-3s operated by the RAF, French and Saudi Air Forces as well as the E-6 Mercury.

[IronMan129]

Sorry Ray I should have been more specific.

[RayS]

No problems, and ahhhhh sorry to be pedantic Adam but no B720s ever had CFMs fitted.

The KC-135 was actually Model Number 717 in the Boeing books until they gave it to the ex-McDonnell Douglas MD-95 twin jet that now bears the number.

I have a Tomcat that could be pushed up the to do pile. Depending on timings.

[IronMan129]

Awesome!
I want to do my Finemolds F-14 next year, even if these GBs dont get going I'll be doing it as well as the Great Wall Hobby F-15I RA'AM.

[IronMan129]

Sorry everyone but due to personal reasons after the Tornado GB I am no longer going to lead Group Builds so I have cancelled this idea.

Per the Guidelines, if there is broad interest someone else may pick this up and run with it.
Simply add a post to express your interest and then go through the normal steps to recruit, schedule, etc.
Splash or I can assist to modify the thread title for you.

[IronMan129]

Cool, in that case I'd like to add my interest with a Great Wall F-15I RA'AM.
