Well, did you know passions never die

Post by Rocketman »

A conversation with a long time friend a few weeks ago caused him to go digging and he found these pictures of my M4. I was having a hard time remembering much about it and it did this old heart good to see it again and I wanted to share.
My wife named it the Red Belly Money Sucker. It was certainly kind of rough around the edges but she taught me a lot and took real good care of me.
Sorry for the quality of the photo's we didn't have camera phones then.

Load it with fuel and four fat boys and she made a few good crop duster pilots find retirement.

Red Belly Money Sucker. Now that is hilarious. My plane must be related even though it has a white (with black and brown and various shades of whatever) belly. Good one Rocketman.

She may be rough around the edges, if you say so, but she sure has a sense of humour!
