USAF 75 Years GB *** Complete & Archived ***

[Impisi]

hmm - I haven't participated in a GB in here ever ... it is June 24th to August 6th 2023 right?

Well I do have one option in stash, a North American F-86D in 1/48 boxed by Revell, the only thing is, I'm not sure where this thing is now ... but I think I'll get that sorted until June 24th and then would be in if that would be OK.

Just wanted a clarification on a few questions that came to mind:

1) What about Air National Guard aircraft from that period? I have some ANG subjects that would fall into that category.
2) If not, what about Air National Guard units that were federalized for certain operations. For example a Alabama ANG RF-4C from the 106th TFS or New York ANG F-16A (Boys from Syacruse) that few in Operation Desert Storm 1990, or one of the units federalized for the Berlin Crisis of 1961, Vietnam, In addition, you had Air National Guard KC-97s supporting USAF units in Europe for 10 years during Vietnam.
3) Finally what about prototypes? I am thinking about the Lockheed XF-90, North American YF-93, and McDonald XF-88 that are sitting in my stash.

Count me in in any case but I have this itch to finally build the KC-97L that has been sitting in my stash for some time.

Looking forward to this one, something multi-engined from me (of course)

Welcome aboard Ray!

B-52? B-1? C-130? A 1/72 C-5 maybe?

Perhaps All?
Well maybe not, must ponder and check out the stash

Hi Chuck - Yes I'll allow ANG units, AFAIK, they do fall under the command of the USAF. As for prototypes - if it has USAF written on it - it's in.

Well with a house move in the next month, I am not sure if I will be able to participate, very disappointed :-(

I was looking forward to this one. Then again I could try and blitz something. I have an Airfix F-111E in the stash somewhere. See how I go!

Aw man, sorry to hear that Ray!
