There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Too dark a blue! Think Post Office Blue, because that's what they first used on the Bearcat! :d All paints were made from what was available then. Since the A-4, Pratt & Lambert have made the paints, which are special and expensive.
But the Blues flew an entirely different Gutless, the F7U-1, not the F7U-3. They only had two for the 1952 season and they only performed at two airshows because of teething problems always involved with the F7U-1. Understand only 14 production line dash ones left Chance-Vought before production was shifted to the dash 3, an entirely larger beast. The Blues were forced to ground their two dash ones, but the two shows they appeared at were the first time the general public got to see jet engines with afterburners.
