Warhawk takes New Rocket Plane to Shaing Kong!
by Lois Lane

     It seems the sky over troubled China is about to get a lot more pleasant thanks to the newest visitor from the States. It seems that Warhawk, the renowned  daredevil pilot of fortune has taken his newest mount across the Pacific to help sort out the pirate problems there. The first I knew of Warhawk's relocation came as I stared out of my window aboard the weekly Clipper to Shaing Kong and noticed that we had an escort off the starboard wing.

     Upon landing at the seaplane dock, I headed on over to Rickenbacker field where he must have landed. Sure enough, there he was and as ever, he was reluctant to talk to the press. But I did find out that his new Rocket Plane, the XP-289, is the latest collaboration between Hughes and Peevs. Keep your eyes peeled to the sky to see what Warhawk can do vs the Pirates!

I get the XP from Experimental Pursuit, which even if not historically correct, sounds good to me.
The 289 comes from my first car, an ole Mustang with a 289 cubic inch engine.
It was a rust bucket bondo baby, but I did love that car.

Thank you all for the kind words.
