That is looking real nice Brad. Does the TD on the fin mean Target Drone ???

TD tailcodes are assigned to Tyndall AFB.  Its one of the target drone operating bases in the US.

Can't think of a better idea for a Viper, especially those early F-16A's  :ph34r:

Looks good!!

Close.  Tyndall Drone.

Dunno if I'll get pics of it finished up tonight.  I have to finish this, repair a couple more and leave at 0-dark-thirty to go to a show.  Of course show report upon my return.

Glad I was pretty close wuith the TD thing. I have to admit, there huge appeal at seeing F16's used as targets... :ph34r:  :ph34r:  :ph34r:

Very impressive work, Scooterman! That Day-Glo™ orange next to the charcoal gray makes it a real head-turner! She's a beauty!

Looks good with a bit of colour  
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Well it seems quite logical... after the exhaustion of the Phantom stock, it's time to use the early F-16s... :)
Very inventive, and beautiful plane...  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

I like it!  It certainly would have fooled me :)
