Here is my new plane for the 2023 season.  It's the 4th edition of my Cutlass. I call it the "Retro Edition"

Another great looking ship, Derek. I like the slightly "retro" vibe. It pays homage to the past while still being a deadly modern stunt weapon. You "get it."

Later - Bob Hunt

Thanks Bob! The original plan wasn't necessarily to be "retro" but the more I pointed, the more I got that vibe from it. Once I chose the font for the letters, it was set.

Hope to see you soon buddy.

Considering the current state of affairs,  shouldn't that have been the LGBTIQA+ colors?

Great job Derek!

Outstanding work as always Derek! Don’t forget to add the pinks and grays to the next one to make sure you’re fully inclusive   LL~

   How come you can never find Deney Terrio when you need him?

   Besides, that was way before your time. So while disco was bad, what it replaced was *far worse*, - so disco was a vast improvement. Depressing maudlin songs about someone dying, and the accursed singer-songwriters, no wonder people started snorting coke. I would post a few links but will take mercy on you. But if you ever see Terry Jacks, please punch him in the nose.

I used that same trim design on a plane in the 70's but my colors were a bit more traditional.  I like it, but realizing that you actually *are* Retro is something for which I am still in denial.
