You know, in 90 years time, people are going to say "I can't believe they
actually flew something as flimsy as the F-15, F-16 and F/A-18 in combat" -
just as I found myself thinking of this plane now.

Right.
And the photo is awesome.
Sometime I think I wish to live in those times, but then remembering
that there was no big telephoto lens, Nikon F5, color films, digital
cameras. It was challenging to do aviation photography.

It's been 32 years since I saw my first Iggle, and then saw it again 28
years later.

I had a problem with the gas around the craft, then read the reply
about pulling vapor and knew it was what I see on jets, but how can
such a slow plane make it? I guess the air just is thick enough, and
some surfaces produced fast enough air to make it, huh.
