John, what was your involvement with Phantoms; just a Phan? Or did you fly them? Or fix 'em?

Phantoms! My favorite, always loved that plane. I almost got to go for a ride in one when my cousin was flying them for the ANG. Couldn't find the guy with the authority to sign it off though, but I got to sit in it and pretend.
Back to the subject, the biggest thing that's changed since March 2007 with RIC is the full width inlays and, from the sounds of a post by JH over on the RIC site, in a few days, the UV cured finish.
Personally, I sold my old ranch in Idaho and bought one 5 times the size in Montana. Now I'm trying to figure out how not to go broke 5 times as fast...

Flew 'em...my crew chief said he could never understand why it took a High School education to fix them, but a college degree to break them
Oh yeah....I'm a still a Phan too...great airplane

John, ever flew into/out of Nellis? Thunderbirds used to fly them before they switched to T-38's

Brian...yup sure did. Lot's of stories about Nellis including the fact that I have one less landing than take-offs there...
Sorry for the thread drift everyone....we should probably get back on topic.
