This year is also the 50th anniversary of Centuri Engineering. Time for a "Golden Widow"!

I vote for a Golden Athena or Arrow 300 or Aero Dart instead.

This is for FREE kits! I wish we could give away 250 Athenas. :chuckle:

I'd pay for a Golden Aero-Dart. The 1969 version.

Mine were somewhere between the shuttle glide path and a brick. Well, maybe closer to the brick. :chuckle:

I keep thinking of Trip's "Whiz-Thunk" recovery he mentions each year at TARC.

Well now that is a possibility for the golden anniversary of the Aero-Dart in 2019. :chuckle:
