However, I dont think you would want to bring Vandy 1 to the States because customs most likely would not let you take it back out of the country. A Mig can come and go but American built jet fighters is another story 🙁

Hi Justin
Well I guess my Mig 21R and Su22 will be OK then, just sitting by the phone waiting for your call.
Seriously, I hope you have a great event, the Cold War Air Museum looks like an awesome venue.

Or even a C119, the beauty of which is that you could get a least two smaller cockpits inside, and with a forum almost entirely populated with retired loadmasters, would present absolutely no logistical problems, and with all personal guarantees of safety in transit, (or any other van) no insurance will be required……

Vandy 1 and a Spit would both be fantastic! 🙂 Indeed, if sponsorships were available we certainly would have a massive cockpit turnout 🙂

Nudge, nudge, hint, hint Tony:D
I wonder if they’d like to have the cockpit of the original Black Bunny Phantom, 153783, Vandy 1 attending too? Hint, hint!
