Nachtwulf Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Stunning photos! Thank you for sharing them! One question on the Victor. Do the square scoops on top of the fuselage in front of the vertical stab retract? They cool as heck sticking out in the breeze! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
