Before all of this happened Jim's jet was a star attraction at Top Gun. Everyone was extremely impressed with the way it looked. It had a presence about it that just seemed to have that "larger than life" feel. The buzz around it was significant. Large crowds gathered to get a closer look when he took it out and when we carried it to static. I know Jim will eventually sort out all of the take off issues on this airframe and bring it back to TG one day. We are all anticipating the time when we get to see this fantastic bird with it's unique theme fly again.
