Tasteful, timely and well appreciated.
I am just finishing up my autographed copy of Hell Hawks. :D

Me Brudder Bill got it at the U-H Smithsonian just last Dec.

Thanks,
SPANNER

Great idea, and great photos! I definitely have a soft spot for the old "Little Demon".
Here's a photo of mine of "Hairless Joe", from back in 2005 (I'm glad I saw her when I still had the chance). Looks like John Lane at the controls.

I was somewhat camera challenged when I took this shot, but like the formation.

Clifford - that's my cousin flying Hal in the Heritage flight.

Are you the same Clifford that hung out with Spider in ELP many moons ago?

Will have to look around here and find the photos of Hairless Joe before she was restored when it was at Geneseo in pieces.
I remember Little Demon with the A-10's....
