Louis:
Thank you, this was incredibly helpful.
My pleasure. When researching this volume of the King & Country books, I not only used every warbird flyer I could find (I never saw the "Desert Storm" flyer Andy posted today on the modern warbirds thread he started before), and every pricelist and dealer dispatch (back in the pre-internet days, Andy used to Fax them to dealers, and a few of my dealer friends passed them along to me), I actually picked Andy and his brother Gordon's brains, and got a bunch of old photos Gordon had saved sent to me, so I could make as complete a list as possible.
