Thanks for checking in. F-86, or was it F-84? Or was it RF? Matters not. Great service from a great guy. Thanks, friend.

20. Thuh original HAWG. RF-84/F |
|
Oh don't give me an F-84. She's just a ground loving whore. She'll cough and she'll wheeze. She'll head straight for the trees. So don't give me an F-84.
Called the (ground)hog because of its low thrust-to-weight ratio, and its subsequent love for terra firma. 9000' take-off roll on a 10,000' runway. More fun and excitement than you could possibly imagine.
