I don't know if I have shared this before, but I find myself coming back to this glider. I love how it is barely one step more than "hang glider" but still less than "sailplane." There's a version with an electric motor to extend flight times. Whole thing fits in a trailer. 28-to-1 glide ratio.
Maybe if I hit the lottery I will buy one.

Most people in the general aviation community don’t consider this to be a good looking plane but I’m one of the exceptions. I grew up with a Piper TriPacer and later inherited it from my dad. It is very rare to see one on floats. Very cool.

It may not be your grandfather's Air Force, but it is his airplane
My first true love, I "stuffed buffs" from 1979 to 1993

F-4 Phantom II
One of the most adaptable fighters ever created was the McDonnell, twinjet, all-weather F-4 Phantom II, with top speeds exceeding the speed of sound. The F-4 was the fastest, highest-flying, and longest-range fighter in the U.S. Navy. As a result, more Western air forces used it than any other front-line plane.The F-4 set sixteen records for speed, altitude, and time to ascend. At 98,556 feet, the prototype broke the world altitude record in 1959. On a 15-mile circuit, an F-4 achieved the world speed record in 1961 at 1,604 mph.
Corsair F4U
The F4U saw service throughout WWII and the Korean War and amassed more than 2,000 victories flown by naval and marine aviators. Due to the Corsair's characteristic whistle when in attack mode at lower altitudes, the nickname “whistling death” was given to it by ground forces.Corsair F4U

It's truly remarkable that they're still flying and a first line bomber some 60 years after being introduced in the 50's

I am having a problem embedding a video. I have worked through the FAQ's and still remain flummoxed. Some assistance would be great.
