Greg Law Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Patrice, I will consider that GB, but I have some plans to focus on torpedo planes next year. Although the lighten is the one American plane I'm interested in that wasn't flown by the RNZAF. So it may well happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
