Just keep watching till they show the pictures .. the flight images are fake because well they had to show how it looked.

Still it's a pretty sturdy sucker.


This F8 pilot had fun too.

I remember reading about both these stories... nice to finally see some actual pictures.

Eagle 1, Skyhawk 0 -- MD shoulda made a promotional tour after that little incident :lol:

'F-8 is the only plane that can fly with its wings folded' -- nice publicity stunt, TOTALLY useless in ACM
