So many great looking and flying stunters...from the early 70 daze days.

Man, that T-38 is gorgeous. Phenomenal work. Whose is that? Not John Pointer, is it?

Hi Guys,
I believe the Taurus is Bob McDonald's  and the Stiletto 35 is Remel Cooper's. He was a fellow Floridian of Les McDonald. I remember Les and Remel both sporting "Team Stiletto" t-shirts back about this time frame.

Mark,

The Flying Models plane was John Pointer's plane. I darned near wore out my copy looking at those pictures. Very cool. But they were black and while and I'm not sure this is it. Could be.

Thanks, Bob. I didn't think it was John's model, but it sure is pretty.
