In lieu of my normal commission, I'll settle for one copy of every Corgi airplane ever made.

Corgi (CG-US35810) is scheduled to release Ralph Parr's F-86 in Nov.- "USAAF 4th FIW, 334th FIS, "Barb", Ralph Parr, Kimpo, South Korea, 1953". I have met him on a couple of occasions. He is aso credited with shooting down the last aircraft of the Korean conflict. Here's a bio. http://www.afa.org/magazine/valor/0287valor.asp

It would also be cool if they made a two F-86 set with diorama base that had the two F-86's in flight during the push sequence.

It'll never happen, that would make too much sense.

Neat idea, Raven! I would even go as far as suggesting that the box package artwork - it would be nice to see a 'screen capture' frame of the dogfight of the fighters in action. Now that would be a....killer

Anyone who missed "Air Ambush" on Friday night need to make sure their TiVo/DVR/VCR for the next showing, whenever it may be in your area.

There is an awesome sequence that shows a Robin Olds WWII dogfight in a P-38 version of Scat.

Check it out!

I just watched Mig Alley last night on Tivo and man, this is some superb TV -- those guys had some major stone.. egad!

Really great stuff, looking forward to the rest of this series for sure.

Sounds like a winner to me.....I missed last night's episode, how good was it?

[SKUNKY]

It was excellent, Tyler...When I envision the classic hero fighter pilot, for some reason Robin Olds' face comes to mind...

Now, I'm really sticking my neck out doing this after the merciless shelling I gave flyXwire the other day, but here goes- the History Channel is going to be repeating this program again Sunday night at 11 P.M. EST and again at 3 A.M. Monday morning...It's the History Channel, so it should be airing at the same moment in time everywhere..Adjust for your individual time zones accordingly...

Any suggestions for famous dogfights?

After watching lastnight's episode, I think they should do a few more of the Air War in Vietnam episodes, for instance that of Capt. Steven Ritchie's ACE making victories (I think he's still alive?) and MOH winner Lt.Col. Leo Thorsness' F-105 shooting down a Mig 17 (Rendezvous with a Rattlesnake)
