A fellow I worked with at Northrop named Chuck Knight flew with the
original Blues in the Bearcat. Later went to Pax River for Test Pilot
school and did a lot of the early work with the A-5. Retired as O-6
from the Navy and then put in about 15 years with Northrop working on
YF-17 and then ATF (YF-23.)

Chuck passed away about three months ago in Dallas. Real good guy!
