Good comrade Mig Pilot will do exactly as his GCI controller says while aloft, then celebrate glorious victories over capitalist imperialist flying dogs with a party approved drink upon return...
Yep I bet that's right!

That warping on the tail doesn't look that bad. No one noticed, but my F-102's tail is canted to one side from me sitting in on the tail so much.

It's not too bad - it's about 3mm out at the tip.

lol! I hadn't noticed that Carlos - That's really cool. It does indeed look really similar!
I'm thinking that'd be a good what-if...

“Inspired by Actual (classified) Events”.... is the opening tag that Hollywood uses now... of course the fine print at the end says “any resemblance to actual persons or events is purely coincidental”...
as they used to say on the intro for Dragnet... “The story you are about to see is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.” So we swap the Indian Ocean for the Adriatic Sea...
