Finished up 10:04AM EST, less than 24 hours after start.
USAF Hawker Hunter from the 16th Tactical Fighter Wing "Bull Sharks".
These aircraft were received from RAF stock as lend-lease.
They were used as point-defense interceptors protecting vital CONUS targets from sneak bomber attack.
These aircraft were given new avionics and re-armed with U.S.-made Armalite aero auto-cannons.
They achieved a 10:1 kill ratio and served with distinction throughout the Second Atomic War.
USAF pilots appreciated flying a fast, cutting-edge fighter. Unfortunately, the aircraft in the next conflict would be somewhat less advanced.
Nothing remains of the USAF Hunters today and documentary evidence is sparse due to the vast destruction caused by nuclear combat.
The so-called "experts" refuse to believe Hawker Hunters ever flew with the USAF and insist the whole story is just fallout from the uncertainty of the time.
I'd like to thank Bill for his kindness in sending me the kit, ed for his encouragement and the IT dept. at work who provided the unexpected time off that made this possible.
