Always liked the classic look of the Delta wing interceptors of the 50’s - 60’s era having spent a year providing security for F-102’s in ROK. But when I saw my first F-4 I was in love. Then, in another departure from conformity, I was again blown away by the F-111’s we had at Nellis. BTW, they had great queen sized bed sized main landing gear flaps!

I was at one of the Air Shows held at Bergstrom AFB (austin, Tx) and one of the Statics was a Wild Weasel Aardvark. It was a HOT Summer day (easily 100°F) and as I walked from the Nose around I look at the Main Gear and Door and there is the Pilot laying back on the Door in the shade.;)
