Interesting story, check it out:
Thanks. [tup] ART
And you can model it OOB, Frank. In 1/72, Hasegawa BP104, 51464. I couldn’t resist, it’s in the stash.
John,
Not that I didn’t believe you, but I did a little searching on that kit you mentioned. Unbelievable! That is too funny they actually made a kit of it. [(-D]
Frank, Have you found one? I found a listing but I can’t read Japanese. This kit would go great in some kind of “Bubba’s Bombers” diorama. [(-D] [:D] [8D] [:D] ART
Haven’t found one yet Art, but me thinks I may have to find one just to say “I have a model aircraft with a toilet hanging under the wing”! [(-D]
Frank, great minds think alike.[:D] If you search on yahoo search hasegawa BP104 #51464 it brings you to a site called , don’t laugh, “Pink Tiger” click on it and scroll down quite aways .This is the only listing I’ve found anywhere AND its in Japanese. Like the song said " Its Another Saturday Night And I Ain’t Got No Model…" [banghead] [(-D] [(-D] [(-D] ART
Here’s the art!
VA-25 aboard the USS Midway.
These images are priceless![(-D][(-D][(-D]!
Make you wonder what cool stuff has gone on without photos…or pics that haven’t surfaced yet![:O]
[#ditto] Thanks for the photo of the box art, gotta find one of those! Anybody else have any cool stories like this or unusual aircraft photos?
The Skyraider with toilet bomb was during Viet Nam. During Korea, a Skyraider dropped a “kitchen sink”. Hauls everything except the Kitchen Sink doesn’t apply anymore.

Nice pics and neat story. Very cool that it has been kitted, as well!.
Thanks for the plug on that website, too.
IIRC,
Both the aircraft and pilot were lost on a later mission.
Yes,
CDR Stoddard was later killed while flying 572 in Oct 1966.
He was hit by three SAMs over Vinh.----
I’m very sorry to hear that. Another hero lost. ART
