Randy,
The Red River Rats used to sell copies of the print and at times could help at getting them signed but I just checked and none are listed right now. They might be out of print, just not sure.

Michael,
Randy and I grew up not too far from each other and have known him for 25 years or so. We are not close, he was on a "fast track" in life and I was not interested in that. He was one of the best at one time, but as you say, power corrupts. Really sorry to see it happen to anyone but now its time for him to serve his time. Hope he wakes up and returns to reality.

Photo not seen very often of a carrier with nothing on the deck.
Same carrier in "working" mode! Gives you a better idea of the arrangement that Randy was talking about regarding the four catapults. When all four of them are in action, the deck is very busy.
Randy, a better photo of a F-4 Recce model.
A salute and they are in the air!
Interesting photo...
Believe that this is a Israeli F-15. Had a mid air collision and lost one wing outboard of the engine nacelle. Like the bumble bee, the plane is not supposed to be able to fly like this but the pilot brought the ship home. Unbelieveable...
Regarding Tcar's comments on the F86, for those of you who do not know the plane, here it is. One of the most beautiful fighters ever made IMHO. First American line fighter to be able to go supersonic (in a slight dive) and a very revolutionary airplane for its time. Without it in Korea, we would have been outclassed by the MIG-15.
All for now...
