Hi there

The US Census Bureau defines a "Baby Boomer" as someone born between 1946 and 1964.

Extending that to aircraft, and translating "born" to "first flown" - it's an era that encompasses some of the greatest advances yet. So, how about a Baby Boomers build to encompass both the last of the piston-engined aircraft and both the 2nd (and 3rd) generation jet- and rocket-engined successors.

We're talking the final versions of WW2 workhorses, through to the XB-70 Valkirie and TSR-2 - and all that went between.

Build timescale? Knowing my reputation, sometime next year at the earliest!

All the best

Sounds good to me. I have quite a few jets in the stash that would qualify.
As there is quite a few campaigns running at the moment, I think starting next year would be best.

Another campaign would probably mean divorce and bankruptcy for me.........but I'll join in anyway.

Hi!

I´m tangled up over my ears in Campaigns, but what the heck, I´ll join!

Almost everything in my stash will fit the time period, so I can just take whatever i fancy at the moment!

Besides that, I´m a "babyboomer" myself, and there´s always the Phantom II, born the same year as myself!!

Cheers!
