I am starting to build models of various aircraft flown by the
original seven astronauts. So far the model of John Glenn's F-86,
"Mig Mad Marine" is about 60% done.

Question for Scott Grissom (and others): In the book "Fallen
Astronauts," the authors say that Gus Grissom named his F-86 for his
son, not being particularly concerned with existing naming traditions.
Are there, to your knowledge, any pictures of the airplane on the
web? I can find many references to the plane, but no photographs or
sketches.

Thanks

i'm out flying for a week, so it may take me a few days to catch
