ISTR the Cutlass holds the jet fighter record for the most turns in a
spin - something around 40 before it hit the ground. The pilot left about turn 25 or so but the camera recorded the entire trip. BTW that earleir comment about one great turn reminds me very much of the F102 - all the smash converted to a lot of G in about 25 seconds. Walt BJ |

Tex- Even though the USN has used a handful the F-16 is an Air Force design.
BRBR And the more things change, the more they stay the same. F-16N went away(thanks NAVAIRSYSCOM), and now back in Fallon...GREAT jet, particularly with contract, GD(when I was flyin' it) maintenance. Not a better adversary A/C for ther USN in existence. P. C.

Tex- As are almost all USN aircraft. BRBR
ALMOST is right. F-4 and F-8 were not wierd looking. F-14 sure is tho. Remember, altho the USAF had doragtory names for the F-4, the USN never did. I heard 'double ugly, Rhino, Leadsled' all the time in the USAF, when on exchange but in 10 years in the USN, it was the 'Phantom', my favorite jet. P. C. Chisholm CDR, USN(ret.)
