Improving Article
[edit]I discovered this article yesterday and realized it is very incomplete. I am busy expanding it, which can take some time. When I finished I will to the cleanup work.

- No problem, and thanks. It's looking good so far. When you are actually doing a series of edits, you might want to use the {{inuse}} header (placed at the top of the page) to ensure that no one else (theoretically) edits the page in that time. (I promise I won't edit it while it is "in use".) If you take a break of more than an hour or two, the {{underconstruction}} header could be used to indicate that the work is still incomplete, but that others may edit it in that time. These tags will help prevent crossed "wires" and edit conflicts. - BillCJ (talk) 12:40, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Sources
[edit]I'm pretty sure there was an article in Flying on the Skyfox back when the type was a going concern. If anybody can find it, it might prove a useful resource. (Alas, my literal mountain of late-1980s/early-1990s aviation magazines has long since vanished in a series of moves. :( ) - The Bushranger One ping only 22:10, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Corrections
[edit]My father Russell O’Quinn designed this aircraft. There are several inaccurate statements in the article which I could correct. I’m unfamiliar with the process to make corrections on Wikipedia. The Skyfox was never a Boeing product. It was owned by the Skyfox Corporation. It was simply under an agreement or contract with Boeing for a period of time to explore potential prospective sales. Boeing ended the contract.
The camouflage paint scheme was the result of a potential US Army interest in the Skyfox as a long range escort ship. Extensive demonstrations were conducted at Fort Rucker, AL and at Fort Huachuca, AZ.
The prototype has not been donated to the Palm Springs Air Museum. It has been placed on loan by Russell O’Quinn and family and is being prepared for static display in 2022. 2603:8001:1B02:6900:C053:8D2D:69A4:CCF4 (talk) 03:54, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
