Well, you've seen the FB1 first cut of the Whistlers but here was the FT2nd
designs I had sketched out:

First, the Whistlers think in more am "Airforce" then "Naval" mode. But then
their land forces are like the Luftwaffe controlled german units in WW2. Yes,
the Navy and the Army are part of the *Air Force" in the
Whistlers domains.  And yes, I did that just to bug my non-USAF
relatives and friends.

Enough propaganda!
