| nathan solomon apache junctin, AZ | I have just about everything written about the RP-63 a,c,and g Pinball aircraft including many original manuals .After much research I found the crash report and date of a 'c' model in nevada .My request to visit the site on the gunnery range is on hold due to resent events.
I have much interest in the Frangible Bullet program .I would like to hear from anyone that took part in the program . 12/27/2001 @ 00:10 [ref: 3908] |
| Jim Records Tecumseh, MI | The P63 Kingcobra was (and hopefully is) an absolute pleasure to fly. It has great visibilty from the cockpit and had enough more power than the P39 and was a joy to have a rat race with. I never really understood why most of them were sent to the Red AF, but then nobody asked me since I was a brand new second baloon when I first flew one. I sure would love to lhear from any one who had been stationed at Portland AAF base during WWII, and had the pleasure of strapping on the 63(and 39). 06/13/2000 @ 17:32 [ref: 312] |
