Those main gear look really spindly and weak. I'd love to see this thing fly someday.

That's a handsome looking airplane, for sure, and a very interesting and unusual subject. I've never seen one in person. I'd love to see it flying some day (soon!).

The late 1980's saw Jimmy Leeward fly an AF-2 Guardian into the TICO VAC Show. It was neat to see it fly!
Might be the same one, just can't remember right now.

One in the same Mr O'Neill. I wonder when the last time it flew? I'm assuming he had to take it apart to get it to Texas.
