CliffB Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Congratulations on bringing this one in Patrice. Thanks to this GB I'm learning a bit more about Lockheeds. For example, I now recognise the distinctive shape of a Lockheed drop tank (same as on my Shooting Star!) . Cheers Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
