This is a big hit to wake up to!

I never met him, but relied on him for enlightening tidbits in the aviation world.

Attached File

Funny story: one night he confused the forward swept wing version of the F-16 with the above X-29! Hilarity ensued.

The various "F-16s" that were posted were pretty funny. I think it all started with somebody posting a Sopwith Camel labeled as an F-16SFW.
