It was a 4-ship after the show last night. Departed Rwy 27 in 2-ship formation takeoffs at about 1815, and returned to initial on 36L.

The thanks all go to T33driver (Paul Keppler), who gave me the opportunity.

Thanks Paul!! I'm hooked!

It's actually a more interesting story, in that the aircraft had to have the markings removed, on export - but a long story short, with help from WIX, the Canadian Forces, a Canadian decal company and some neat work by T33driver (but don't let him know) the aircraft's original markings (plus one secret one more...) were re-applied.

There's a thread here somewhere...
