Great choice on the paint scheme!! The VA-164 "Ghost Riders" were a pretty interesting unit back in the day when they were flying A-4's. Lady Jesse is probably one of the most interesting aircraft stories I know. It is a very human story about a small town kid and a family that made a mark on him.

Here is the history:

If I ever trade or sell my A-4 for another I'll build a "LADY JESSIE" for myself!!

Nice to see others work on their A-4

Mine is nearly ready for the VC-1 scheme as I like some blue
