Ok, I received an email from a Naval aviator from VA-146 with some good pics and, a listing of the aircraft assigned to the squadron at the beginning of the cruise No Modex numbers were given so, have to cross check my references

Well, I had an open sore on the back of my head & went to the hospital to have it looked at, they gave me some antibiotics & sent me home. Well, I had a very nasty reaction to the meds for some reason and went back 2 days later. Seems it was the sulphur-based antibiotics which caused me alot of swelling, redness, welts & such all over my body, plus, gave me the shakes real bad. I aint neva had an experience like this before!!

Thanks Nektarios, I am doing better now. I have one area that is still affected from the reaction to the meds. It's pretty uncomfortable for me to sit still for very long & my hands still a bit tender at the wrists & joints of my fingers.

Hopefully this will blow over soon so I can get back to building

Thanks john. It would be a good time to work on anything IF I could actually sitdown in a comfortable position without getting that kicked in the groin feeling everytime I shift position.

Roger that! :thumbs_up_1: I may be unable to build at the moment, but, I continue to do my research as that is just as important as the build itself. In My own Opinion :big_grin:
