People ask me why I have her tattooed on me......watch this & listen to her I say! If they don't get it its their loss. I might be the only woman who wishes she was older, because then I would have had more time to see her in real life.
Touch & Go's were always a joy. On occasion our pilots treated the ground crew to incredible fly by's that could only be experienced in person. Truly moments of time never to be forgotten. All memories cherished.
NASA's astronauts came to us for their suits. That's cause for bragging rights for the 9th SRW!!!
There's one at the Cosmosphere Air & Space Museum down in Hutchinson, Kansas. Quite a work of art those beauties are.

Yes, there are a few in museums. One is in the air museum near where I live. It is a pretty large aircraft.

New York - London in 1 hour 54 min. If I would be billionaire like Bill Gates, I would take this plane as privatejet.
