The BVM F4 always showed the cream of the crop heavy pilots, Shui told me once, slowed, dirty and nose high, he would be back at 50% throttle at touchdown flare. The true mastery of throttle as elevator. I see this skillset being lost with the ever increasing size of the jets going so large...
Reid was 200' and just over runway upwind high speed pass, No way a turn was gonna happen. Thanks for sharing your story luv them BVM F4, I book mark JR thread the minute he started it.

To build, and then competently fly a model like a BVM F-4 requires a long long apprenticeship. But I'm such an old fart..

I remember there being 9 bvm f4's at Florida jets in 2000. Cool thing is several of them are still flying. Billy Harrods E nose in primer had a flame out at mid field and low, amazingly, did a 180 and made it back.
There is a good picture of them on the bvm event picture's FL jets 2000.
Yep, the John Wayne of jets by any standard.
