Good one Don, thanks for posting it.

Glad you enjoyed, It was not half as good as the master could tell, You will enjoy the video as well, take a look at their site. It was kinda wrapped around his legacy. He was full of life to the very end. I remember the day the Georiga ANG took him up in a B-1B for his birthday, Good lord that man lived to fly, and fly anything he could get his hands on.

Can't wait till I can start that one myself.

Here is a video, still trying to get the photo Info you asked for, there are a couple of photos in the video.
WWII Flying Ace: Robert L. Scott

I finally had a chance to watch it and highly recommend it!

About half way through the video It showed a picture of Scott in his F-100 so I did the screen capture below. Looks like I have a start on the markings for it.

From my quires back at Warner Robins Ga

Bill said he has a list of all Gen Scott's aircraft and will get it to
you as soon as he finds it.

That's the one I've seen before Karl! Thanks a million. Looks like Scott kept the same fuselage number he had on his P-40E. He told the story behind the "7" in his book. The number on his first P-40 was "10" and he was returning to base one day and radioed in "One-Zero coming in from the east" and was met by a whole squadron of P-40s looking to shoot down a "Zero", but fortunately recognized him as a friend before it was too late. After that he changed the number to a "7"



I seem to get into ruts. Last time it was 109s, this time P-40s. I have a P-40L in the box waiting too, but I'm not ready for another triple header just yet.

That sounds like Gen Scott, he could keep you in stitches for hours!
