Since Jay Robbins was a Headhunter, I'll do my best to drag as many Headhunters as possible from AH into this one.  Green trim 38Js please :)

BTW, the 80th FS P38J skin is Jay Robbins "Jandina".  Might be a good on for the Snapshot if you can set it up that way.  Default 20th FG skin just doesn't do it

the skin is available in the SEA, but they require the use of the mission planner so the skin will not be available for the flight.
