Wonderful aircraft - Reminds me of Ormond Haydon Baillie's Hawker Sea Fury that I crewed on for many years in Vancouver, BC. while Ormond was stationed at CFB Cold Lake, Alberta & flyiing a CF-104 widow maker!

Thank you for the kind comment Martin.

That must have been an awesome experience working on a Sea Fury. I grew up in Cincinnati... not far away was the Dayton Air Show.

Back in the 1980's the show opener sometimes was a RCAF F-101 Voodoo. What a superb opening act.

Glad I saw two F-104's at Oshkosh a dozen years ago. Beautiful and sleek
