NG100, VF-96 “Fighting Falcons” USS Constellation, 1972
Diecast Display Model
Replicating an F-4J Phantom II, this top-quality model is a celebration of Randall “Duke” Cunningham and Willie Driscoll, the first two U.S. aces of the Vietnam War. On May 10, 1972, they flew their warbird — nicknamed “Showtime 100” — and took down three MiG-17s. These kills represented their third, fourth, and fifth victories (after two scores earlier in the year). The Vietnamese Peoples Air Force lost a total of eleven aircraft on May 10, six by the VF-96 “Fighting Falcons.”
