[cheddar cheese]

A special reason that only I would understand

 

[kiwimac]

Thanks.

Yeah. I'm in high school and new to the whole thing. I heard about the Typhoon and hiw it was an excellent ground support craft. I wanted to know about her sisters: the Sea Fury, the Tempest, and the Hurricane.(I got those right I hope)
