Some great stories! Thanks.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Very cool - having just built one it was nice to read about them.

I am quite familiar with the area of his near supersonic low level fly by... and the rest... well lets just say from other fighter jocks of that era that I have had the good fortune to meet and listen to, typical great stuff...
