If the Crusaders are keeping company with a "G" model Nickle is / are they at Deer Valley? If so,what are the plans for the "G". I'm an OLD 'Nickle guy and just curious.

These are the ex-Thunderbird Aviation Crusaders that were at Deer Valley but they have been gone from there for many years now. I had the distinct pleasure of seeing one of them perform an aerobatic display at a Luke AFB open house back in the mid-'90s and it was among the most awesome jet demos I have ever witnessed. Love to see them back up and flying on the warbird circuit.

I saw these aircraft about 6 years ago. I was in a meeting right in the middle of the hangar and it was so awesome to see the two F-8's parked next to the 105! They were very distracting, much like a trio of super models! The last I saw of them they were in Arlington, WA at FHC's old domain.
