YES
My original name was Double D's, referring to two "D" motors, not in refewrence to anything else, but, from what I heard, they "E" came up with some "hot" paint schemes and parachutes. It's like the Scew Machine, my original name was Kwick Knect, but they came up with the name, which I complained about, another story. Out of all my designs that "made it" Baby Bertha was the only one that I named !!!!! |

Gooney Birds
1) Bill Eichelberger's Gooneybird models look great--definitely first rate craftsmanship. Seeing them eases the pain. I may skip my meds today.
2) As for the original sketches, photos, etc., Wayne Kellner may have some of that stuff if anybody knows how to contact him. |

Bill, Thank you for taking the time to provide the history of the Goonybirds. I'm sorry if remembering that episode caused you a headache. I'd would enjoy hearing about the development of the Interceptor (K-50) and the history behind the Citation line of products when you have a moment. I hope information like Bill is providing can be archived and saved for the future. Bob |

I, too, would be curious to know what the originals were supposed to look like. Did the fin planform change too or are the goonies just repaints/redecorations of the original caricatures? If the latter, do you remember what goony came from what original? Greg |

Maybe the Zoom Broom was the Gee-Bee Racer?

My mother had one of those hair dryers. I used to beg to put it on in the winter when I was freezing my butt off. We had wood heat so one area was nice and warm and the rest of the house was cold.
