Gus Grissom's F-86 (Question for Scott Grissom)

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

....Just write "Psychotic ******* Troll" on the side. That'll be good
enough.

Mosley, stop baiting Scott. Some of us actually RESPECT Gus Grissom
(of course, we also realize you've never HEARD of the word.)

Yeah, OM! Stop teasing her boyfriend!

Then, of course, there's you and "scott", who seem to get off ****ing on
Gus' legacy.

Oh, no, we've heard the word "LaDonna" far too many times, nearly always
accompanied by some lie or fantasy.

Speaking of which, how are you coming on those law enforcement personnel
names?

....And with this dip**** behind the stick, we now understand that
there's another reason why Burt The Turtle taught us to duck and
cover.

Please, try not to auger.

Mosley, Scott Grissom knows a heck of a lot more about flying than you
ever will--discounting the drug-induced "flying", that is. On that,
YOU are clearly the expert. :-)
