My New Plane (Background On Its Name)

31.1k Spikerya  8.8 years ago

My new plane that I've called the A-13 Gamma II is named after the Northrop Gamma, and its attack prototype, the YA-13. If you look it up on Wikipedia as the Northrop Gamma, you can see a very cool picture of the "Polar Star", a Gamma designed to land on snow/ice. if you look behind where the engine is housed in the nose, you can see a sticker of a company called "Texaco". Some history of "Texaco" in my family is that my grandpa (the one whom recently passed on) actually used to work for "Texaco" before it was sold to Sunoco, a popular race gasoline company. My grandpa then started his own business called "Trick Enterprises" that sold racing gasoline and instant horsepower booster for car engines. Just wanted to let all of you know of the history there... :)
