This would be a cool plane to add to the set...

In VMB-611, we festooned the old barracuda with every device known to ordnance and a few of our own design.  We had eight 5-inch rockets, thirteen .50 caliber machine guns (nine firing forward), and a bomb load that ranged from fourteen 250-pound bombs to three 1,000 pounders.   Someone once noted that we had the fire power of a Navy cruiser broadside.  Perhaps.  All I know is that the old PBJ-1 could haul it all out of a 4,000 dirt strip with 60-foot palm trees at the end with no sweat.

I gotta get me one of those!
