Jack, It is a cool airplane and neat to see fly. I think I like them both. The Scooter definitely requires more maint per flight hour then the Sabre.
Hi Scott, Paul was at the controls today. His first flight in this Scooter.

Was it our Paul (T33driver) or a different Paul?

My step-dad being in VA-192 and VA-195 probably makes me partial to the A-4!
He had around 40 TA-4 traps on the Lexington.

Great news, David! What were Paul's impressions of the B versus the TA-4F ?

Congrats David, Paul and the WHF team! I'm ready to fly photo-ship or cannon fodder wingman at Oshkosh...even if it bumps into the cocktail hour. I can't believe I just said that last part. :shock:
