Small was Oriskany, Hancock, and Lex and their sisters. Night traps on

yep, F-8s, at night on 27 chucks....better yee than me...


It ah ... built character.

Altho I really
miss not flying single seat Fighters. never knew how much fun it was
until I got into the A-4 and F-16...


The F-8 really made you feel like god in the cockpit. But for the sweetness
of the flying experience, an A-4F was my favorite ride. And it could
confound many a "better" airplane in a fight.
