Figures, the only other guy that knows that seriously arcane piece of trivia would be a stag driver!
All i can say is ..... dammn Scott.
I'm truly happy you were able to grab the brass ring that made that particular unicorn dream come true.
The g model has been an art piece in our home since the 70's, so unfortunately or fortunately along with ac porsches I was imprinted early.
Give us a brief write up on operational procedures if you don't mind, from the pull through to fuel management to base, final and touch down speeds?
