I suppose, just to sate my own ego, I should point out that I actually do
*know* that the T-16 is visible in the movie, and that Luke plays with the
model. In fact, I could probably even point out that the model Luke plays with
was originally one of the terrible production models produced by the horrible
first modelmaker (whose name, unfortunately, escapes me at the moment) to be
used in the sequence that was cut from the early drafts of the script, where
Wormie (that's Luke), Cammy, Fixer, and Biggs actually *do* fly down Beggar's
Canyon shooting Womp Rats. It's supposed to later explain why Luke is so
comfortable flying down the trench.
At any rate, what I meant was that the vehicle is never seen flying around.
