One thing that stands out here...the common US "secret agent" plane right now
would be a OV10D, or a MC130 Herk...so, it being piston engined is no big deal.
The WW2 eq. was the Lysander, which is a single engined piston plane...

It helps that the plane not be supersonic, since parachuting out of a
supersonic airplane is likely to hurt (a lot!)


Still, this Secret Agent stuff sounds interesting, so I hope to see more
sets. Perhaps there will be some kind of cool sports car with hidden
compartments... <cross fingers>

I'd like to see a theme like that too...it'd be neat!

Bah. The OV-10 is just an observation plane. You can bet they never sent an OV-10 to fly over the former Soviet Union and take pictures of things they weren't supposed to see. :^D ~M (24 years ago, 6-Sep-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)
