A treasured book as I met him at an air show as a kid and it's a signed copy with a pic my father had snapped with me and Pappy. I also re-read Skunkworks, which reminds me of another favorite plane that still boggles my mind as it was designed and built in the 60's.

I was going to say P-51 until you reminded me of one the most bad azz jets to ever fly. Nothing like it before ... nothing like it since.

Got to wander over and gander at their craft several times. Watching the ER-2 take off was impressive, it seemed like they were at 10,000 by the end of the runway and that GE-F118 would shake the windows.
