October 5, 200421 yr Worked fine for me. WOW, what a terrific aircraft. Worth well more than the $5 donation. I can see already this is going to be one of my favorite hand flying VFR aircraft along side my SF-260.The story behind the real Glacier Girl is absolutely remarkable as well. I believe it was The History Channel that did a 2 hour special on her...what a truely devoted bunch of guys. My hats off to them.

October 5, 200421 yr Greetings Alistair!According to PayPal the payment was duly made: I got the PayPal receipt. James and I emailed each other and he's looking into it, so I reckon the problem will soon be solved. I can't wait (eager grin)!Be well!Jaap Verduijn.
October 5, 200421 yr Hi, I take it you are not familiar with Glacier Girl. That's ok, let me fill you in a bit. Here's a blurb from my model announcement:In July 1942, six P-38Fs and two B-17Es were crossing the north Atlantic and heading for a fuel stop on Iceland when the weather turned sour. The planes turned back toward a base on Greenland but the weather worsened and severely hampered navigation. By the time they reached the Greenland coast they were lost and dangerously low on fuel. Their only choice for survival was to land on the barren snow and ice and await rescue. Fortunately all planes landed safely and all the airmen were eventually rescued. However, the planes were not.Decades later, interest was re-kindled in the so-called "Lost Squadron" and efforts were made to find and recover the planes. In 1992, Lt. Harry Smith's P-38F-1-LO was recovered from under nearly 300 feet of snow and ice and shipped to Middlesboro, KY for restoration, affectionately re-named "Glacier Girl."On October 26, 2002, "Glacier Girl" took to the skies again after being restored to perfect factory-fresh condition.This model pays tribute to all those involved with GG's story -- those who flew in the lost squadron, those who rescued the lost squadron, those who discovered the planes decades later, those who brought the plane out of the ice, those who lovingly restored it and those who share it with the world.- dcc
October 5, 200421 yr Thanks all you guys for your support! I got the password, and she's flying now: really, this is a beautiful piece of work!Alright, I go back to flying her now. There's lots to be discovered and enjoyed in this great addition to my stable of thoroughbred aircraft.Be well!Jaap Verduijn.
October 5, 200421 yr I bought the first donationware plane, the P-51B and was disappointed. Still glad to donate though. Will have to look this one over.Todd
