Title: Who can ID this guy?
Post by: James Mills on August 25, 2008, 05:59:02 PM
Any of you guys recognize this kid (the plane should be a dead giveaway if you're in the St. Louis area) LL~?

James

Duh, I forgot to attach the picture (did the same thing on the Stuka site).

Hmmm, could be. I was thinking Hollow Man, but perhaps it's Grant Williams, The Incredible Shrinking Man. He's there, but just really small so you can't see him.

The plane looks like Dan McEntee's and the young lad has to be Sean who is busy serving our country and a new bride.  DOC Holliday

Once we saw the photo it was easy.  He doesn't look all that much different today.  A bit taller, perhaps... LL~

I'll bet you are correct, Doc.  That is definitely Dan McEntee's Shark 45.  Would you believe that both Sean and the Shark 45 are still flying regularly?  I have not had a house that lasted that long!

I may be mistaken, but that Shark was at Paducah last weekend. H^^
Same paint scheme, but I think it was his newer Shark 45 (Dan likes them).

If it was a Shark 45, it sure was a small one. Looked more like the Shark .35.  I h ad a Shark 45 and it was bigger. H^^
I think it's the Jet Co version which is smaller (I have the RSM version and it's a bit larger).

   Yep, James is correct. Mine are a copy of the JETCO kit. I got a good comparison to the original at the '97 VSC, I think it was when Lew had one  of his originals there. It was a much smaller airplane than the original, in order to get it all in the small box!
  Yeah, and I do like them! This pic is from our Broken Arrow contest in '94, I'm pretty sure, and Sean is much taller and uglier now!! S?P S?P LL~ H^^
  Type at you later,
