Damn! How'd you get this? Where you in the cockpit of a plane taking off next to it?

Cool! Do that "Voodoo" that you do! Nice photo. I was a bomb loader on F-4D/E, F-16A/B/C/D, B-52D/G/H and B-1B's. When I went through tech school back in the day we had a 101 from the Happy Hooligans on a pedestal by our barracks.

While in the USAF I also worked on F-4C, F-15, C130 and a few others. As a civilian A & P I have worked on B-25, B-17, SBD, Yale, DeHavilland Chipmunk and a few other warbirds over the years.

You have a nice resume there! Can't beat wrenching airplanes. I loved it all.

And a lot of fun at the time! I was in the second aircraft off the left wing.

What is the 101's name? I can't for the life of me remember.

Thanks. I can keep a lot of the prop warbirds straight but the old jets give me fits.
