Don: he's in St. Louis a lot it seems like, I wanna say he's got family there, or another home maybe? I'll have to ask him...he lived in St. Louis for years I know, at the edge of the *old* SLou campus. Matter of fact, right after WW2 my grandfather went to mortuary school in St. Louis, and rented a room downtown...turns out Johnny owned the apartment/house! Odd that 2 guys from Themiddleofnowhere met up in downtown St. Louis!!

Stopped by the flight line (Williams Gateway - formerly Willams AFB) for lunch today and saw these two black beasts lurking...

Looks like either Beale AFB birds or Holloman birds that were once used by F-117 pilots for proficiency. The Beale 38s are used by the U-2 guys for proficiency. That was a fun jet!

The latest rewiring project from my brother out the door. TA-4. One of only three flying in the world.

Ah, The &quot;Tinker Toy.&quot; When I was a kid growing up across the bay from San Francisco there was at least one squadron of Skyhawks at NAS Alameda and they'd come up the bay and turn northeast and roar right over my house. Even though the A-4 didn't have an afterburner they were still loud.
