    WHen I was a boy I made a 1/24 scale model of one [even at thatscale, still a small model plane].
    I got a prize for it [a box of snacks and drinks and some paint, putty and wot-not.....].
    SOme kid in the nighbourhood gave me a backhanded compliment by steeling it, and the hundred others I had [different planes, uh, my collection].

    Well, the few seconds spent on that NOT ENOUGH of it P-26, jeeze.
    I didn't even have time for the wood to awaken and then on the camera edit went, and my impressive [when I see a beautiful plane] wood wiltered.
    Wiltered.

    The below is the excact one I reproduced.

    That's a nice plane Hezey! I rode in this plane twice. I was able to convince the pilot to perform some mild maneuvers on the second time ride. I had my friend (jochen) with me and he didn't know I had the maneuvers planned. Was pretty funny, the look on his face. That was some great fun. Especially experiencing the G forces. Was thrilling! Jochen...not so sure. :)

    I live a few miles from CYXX.
    There is a pretty big airshow there, in the HOTTEST AS HELL PART OF SUMMER.
    My dad hauled me and my sister there many times. My sister hated it.
    Me?
    Ooooh, it was like being in heaven.
    I got to watch a CF-101 Voodo [called a F-101, by Yanks] explode, not an oooh, look, and see it already been destroyed, oh no, I saw it all, it tore itelf to pieces and the crew got out just fine, a once in a lifetime thrill.
    My sister was to busy being board, wishing she could be back with her Barbie dolls.
    My dad saw it too, ever second of it. In slow motion.
    A hush went over the crowd.
    My sister came over and said: Oh, everything stopped. What's going on?
    [Didn't she understand English? Everyone knew what was going on]
    She is still the same, a retard.
