Fighter Squadron 96, or VF-96Fighting Falconswas an aviation unit of the United States Navyin service from 1962 to 1975. When assigned to Carrier Air Wing Nine (CVW-9) their tailcode was NG, and their radio callsign was Showtime. Originally established as United States Naval Reservesquadron VF-791Fighting Falconson 20 July 1950 it was redesignated VF-142after becoming a regular squadron on 4 February 1953.

Parabat Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 That is phenomenal, quite an exceptional job and clearly took a lot of effort to get it so realistic. Any chance of some underneath shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMSCHLOM Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 She's a beauty! Showtime 100 was the call sign that Randy Duke Cunningham and William Driscoll were using the day they became America's first MiG aces. Their regular aircraft was down that day so they had to borrow the CAG's bird instead, call sign Honey Bee. The CAG warned Cunningham and Driscoll not to let anything happen to his bird! The rest, is history. I built an Academy F-4J on the 46th Anniversary of their Ace status. One thing I asked Duke, was how dirty did they're planes get on operational duty, to which he answered, pretty dirty. But they had an ingenious way of cleaning them. He said they would fly into a thunderstorm and the rain, plus the 400+ knots they would be flying at would power wash their jets clean!! Here is my build if you are interested, for Duke Cunningham: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235041402-academy-172-f-4j-showtime-100/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
