I tried to watch, but couldn't finish the first video.
She interrupted him every single time he dared to say anything. He looked neutered. Poor guy.

Sammy, above, has pics of a Cougar (gray) and 2 Panthers (blue).
That grey one is at a local park and I played on and in it when I was a kid.
It was still in metal then and I could sit in the cockpit and climb in where the engine was supposed to go. Then someone decided it was not safe because little Jimmy might cut his finger on the aluminum, so they coated the whole darned thing in concrete.
Ticked me off.

The Graffiti was from landing the navy plane at an air force base and staying over night. Pilots really tried to make sure that such a thing didn't happen for just such reasons. Not always avoidable because of weather and fuel loads.

LOL I remember ,that thing would get cooking in direct sunlight.

Sure was cool though for a little kid to get to climb in and around a real fighter jet.....
Stuff was more fun back then. Just about every kid in the neighborhood had a BB gun.

i found some more:
