Thanks D4th, nice to see the HABU / SLED again, used to love seeing them at the Hall. Great to see two in formation and sad to learn that 11 were lost!

Well, when you consider the unknowns they were
dealing with, not to mention the speeds and temps,
losing some aircraft was inevitable!

At least Lockheed paid far more attention to crew
safety/survivability than the Ruskies ever did!

Glad you liked it.......
