This one's going to involve ISW's Flagstaff, Tucumcari and WEM's Pegasus. I've finished the Flagstaff and will start the Tucumcari this afternoon. This is the second time I'll be building these vessels.

Sounds exciting, Mike!
Keep us posted with your progress, mate...I also remember a Tucumcari thread in the waters here at sometime, I'll try to find it.

Way cool, Mike...
I love the hydrofoil's look, just slicing through the waters under the surface! Great Job, mate, I was wondering where you were in this build...thanks for sharing.

Hi Mike

Very cool presentation of the history of US Hydrofoils
They look great (all of them !!!) and I like the way you have made the water , so that we can see the planes!

Bravo zulu
