workmanship

was very

good and from 100 yards away it was still LOUD.

Hi Perry;

Now this is very strange, good news to me.....For as far as I know the

ONLY all

metal Viggen ever built was by Joe Rayne of Clinton, Michigan on 1983

and it's

maiden flight was reported on January 1984.......The plane was lost in a

crash

sometime after due to pilot error I believe. This is very interesting

and

important to me.....Would appreciate it very much if you could get me

more

information from your friend, or perhaps I can contact him directly??

Here's an attachment from my records.

BTW,......That Viggen is not really stretched, just the nose was

streamlined.

                                   Many Thanks Perry, you've made my

day.

                                                   Butch
