In 1971 a LC-130 crashed at the South Pole when the JATO pods came loose during take-off. 16 years it was dug out, repaired and flown back to the USA. This is the tale of Hercules 321 and the lucky survival of the team photographer.

What a tale of disaster THAT was!  :o

Thanks for the link Nick.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

So when they dug it out was there any sign of shape-shifting vegetable based alien life?

Or Kurt Russell.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
