The biggest moto-mistake I ever made was selling that bike.

526 TFS Black Knights, F-4E WSO for me. Did Zaragoza quite a bit, too. Make the Tubo runs?
Then we went straight air-to-air, so started going only once a year to hook up with the USS Kennedy and get some gun time. Most of our TDY shifted to Sardinia. In '79 we set up an ACMI range at Decimomannu Air Base. After Deci went operational, it quickly became my favorite TDY. No external tanks, all air-to-air. Did time in Turkey, too.
Funny, but I had a R100RS, too. Dean L. & Chris H. put it together while I was in training in CA. I shipped it to Germany. Lots of fun. Did you make runs around Nürburgring? It is close to Bitburg.
