The Meeting
|
|
|
|
|
 |
President Rex McCoy conducted the meeting in the attire that he wore for the "Picnic with a Pilot" event at the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum earlier in the month. |
| One of the meeting topics was the vote for the new club logo, presented in configurations that would vary with its use. A show-of-hands vote showed that a great majority of the members approved its implementation. |  |
|
|
Rex had also brought a painting by famous maritime artist Richard de Rosset of the USS Berkley on which Rex served during the Vietnam war. Rex plans to get prints of the art piece made for his fellow crewmen. |

Show 'n Tell |
|
|
|
|
|
A few models in various stages of construction, some even still in the box. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
Richard Abraham has built a Monogram 1/48 scale Cessna A-37 Dragonfly. True to his ritual,
Richard finished A-37 in the colors of a foreign country, this time those of the Chilean Air Force. |
|
 |
 |
| Richard also brought a brand new kit, a Trumpeter 1/48 scale A-3D-2 Skywarrior. Unavailability of American decals might break Richard's habit and force him to finish the aircraft in US colors. |
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
Tony Beres is working on an Eduard 1/48 scale Bf-110 C
molded in plastic of the exact color for this aircraft. |
