I wish I could draw, I've had an idea for a WIX Xmas card with a Red B-17 being led by 9 P-51s, 8 in various schemes but the lead Mustang in a red nosed scheme. I tried to photoshop one years ago but it sucked hard. Maybe I'll try again for next year.

When I was 6 years old I opened my present. My much hoped for Toby Mug was there. Smashed to bits. I thought Santa hated me. Now I know why...he was just a clumsy old man who dint believe in wasting money on parachutes... :?

Airnutz, I didn't mean to bring back those memories. Here is correction for You. Hope it helps ;).
