My next family will be the Satellite Interceptor. I already have BT-50, 55 and 60.

Bill,

Would your family include the Crossbow SST? They look almost identical, other than maybe no tubes on the forward wings? I’ve got a boxed one if you want it. Just message me your address.

Yeah, I've got one. It's only half finished. The paint job is too complicated.

Naw, must have been someone else. I'm not THAT old (at least I don't FEEL that old). :-) :-)

Rocketeer since 1967? Sorry, you’re old. Older than water.

According to a card I got at my last B-day, there are still a LOT of things older than me....

Dirt, planets, the universe, [some] rocks....Somehow, that card didn't make me feel any younger. :-(
