Bud Davisson's Description of His First F8F Bearcat Flight

This Mp3 podcast may have been covered in previous WIX strings, but there is way to much previous material for me to wade through to find out. Anyway, if you want to hear a literally hair-raising account of a very inexperienced warbird pilot's (Bud Davisson) description of his rather force-fed, first Grumman F-8F Bearcat flight go to the Flight Journal Magazine website: http://flightjournal.com/ME2/dirmod.asp ... 93B4264EB1 Download the Bearcat Mp3 podcast and listen to it. This will raise the hair on the back of the necks of every pilot, near pilot or non-pilot. Just astounding!
