Stan,
I was only kidding about the frightening part... little exaggeration. My closest encounter with a military type was when I came around the west end of Catalina island at low level, and as I rounded the corner there was an F16 coming the other way doing the same thing in the other direction. It wasn't *that* close (nobody had to maneuver)... and he *did* wave. Regards, Gene |

You didn't see them until they passed just off to the side, waving and grinning. I still hate to see an F101. -- Regards, Stan Not the F-101 I'm thinking about. Wingspan is 39 feet 8 inches. http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/resea...hter/f101b.htm Maybe you were thinking the F-104 which has a wingspan just under 22 feet. http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/resea...hter/f104g.htm J.

@news-1.nethere.net: http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/resea...hter/f104g.htm Yes, you're right, I meant F104. The numbers sometimes blur after 25+ years. ;-) -- Regards, Stan |
