5 O'Clock Charlie - MASH

In the show, IIRC, it was a Ryan PT-22 maybe. Been a while since I've seen it tho.

Most of the actual North Korean "5 o'clock" or "bedcheck" Charlies flew old PO-2 biplanes. To a certen extent, these aircraft gave the allies fits because they flew so slowly that a jet fighter could not slow down enough to get a good firing solution. That's why the F-4U5N re-emerged on the scene and how Navy LT Guy Borddelon made ace.

sounds like something Trumpeter should make.....

KP has one in 1/72. A bit of extra flash but fairly a detailed kit.

I think Gavia or someone did a PO-2one in 1/48. I bought one a year or more ago and it's somewhere down in the basement.

Ahhh....the movie, in which a young and sexy Kirstie Alley...was replaced by the young and UNsexy Robin Curtis....

Doesn't Chekov scream in this film? (Wait...he screams in EVERY film...lol)

So did you want to know what was in the TV show or the real thing??
