A little back story first.... you know a while back; Wayne approached me about maybe helping him out coving the Miss A story for the aafo website. Soon after that I started looking back into what was the current haps on Dago Red. I knew about pretty much everything that had happened over the years, but an old love dies hard - had to scratch that itch. Not too much longer I stumbled across this - a fully built & detailed remote-control Dago Red RC airplane.

She was a pretty thing, but best of all - the company that built the RC model (FMS) really detailed her out, including a lot of the stickers and all. For me, and since I used to be a crew member, that meant looking very closely at every one of them. Needless to say it was a huge shocker when I started looking and discovered that my fricken' name was listed on the side of the model (photo 4 below - second name from the bottom). So naturally I had to buy one! After waiting for the backordered item to again be in stock (13 months later! - it's made in China and probably has been sitting in Long Beach for that time waiting to be unloaded. LOL) it's finally here.
I couldn't be happier with the overall quality... and am looking forward to making it my main feature in my air racing room, along with all my other Dago & air race memorabilia. You might notice that on the 1st photo you also see a picture of Voodoo, Miss A, and the Thunder Mustang models also made by the factory in the same scale (3 1/2 foot wingspan).... don't you think it would look pretty cool in your air race room to have two of the racers you've been closely connected to racing around a miniature scale Reno pylon? Maybe next payday LOL
Attn: Smee Again... look at photo 5 sir! You're there too!!!!
