The good Ol' Lady Lex. I remember my T-2C and TA-4J traps back in 82 on that rust tub like it was yesterday. Absolutely scared shitless the first couple of times.

The Lex is short for the USS Lexington(a united states aircraft carrier). She comes out in this vid and is now a museum in Corpus Christi.
