    Not a standard USAF vehicle

    Searching for some stuff I found this photo - it shows the big drilling machine in USAF markings, apparently used for building some underground support facilities. Not an usual USAF vehicle, isn't it? ;) http://www.skyshipsovercashiers.com/secretfacilities.htm

    Early F-101 Voodoo designs - mockups and models

    Does anyone have a photo of the McDonnell F-101 Mockup, model 36W? I'd like to build a 1/144 scale version of the plane and, despite the fact that I've got five different Voodoo books as well as Steve Pace's XF-88 book, I cannot find a drawing or a pic of it. Thanks. - Jim Kelsey
