As a "part-timer" why should he care what was stenciled on the aircraft as long as it was sound mechanically.
I don't know .. but it just seems to me people are trying to make an issue out of nothing. The war was winding down and the F-102 was being pulled out of service. Why wouldn't the military be moving planes around ..??
Actually, I doubt the aircraft stenciled with New York on it while GW flew it for the Texas ANG. That was what I meant.
