Crusader Book Collections
"I flew Vigi's and A-4's as well, all fun. But I don't think there's a pilot alive who flew F-8's who won't say that was the most fun to fly. I considered it the "Harley Davidson" of airplanes."
John "Lightnin" Davison VFP-63

"I'd make a deal with the Devil if I could just go back and fly either one [RF-4C & RF-8G] again for just a little while!"
