Shes a fine looking ship, has speed written all over it.

If I won the lottery it would be one of these, but with a PZL 600hp transplant. well I would probably have spend some to repair the old ticker before they let me fly it... Dreams are free smile.gif

It would have to be a BIG lotto win for this to work and I dont think I would get one with Speys but I might be able to be convinced.

Ahhh the Phantom the plane that fills the "mid life crisis" groups memories, the one the yanks proved that with a big enough power plant even a truck loaded with bricks will fly. Love that bird.
