I think it was an airshow at Offut Air Force base that we did when I met him.

Here is another one of my friends' Mustang out of the TriState Warbird Museum in Batavia, OH. Nice little museum in the Cincinnati area.

I'm interested in the origins of the phrase/word "SCAT" on these aircraft.

Got any inside information?
