When I was 10 years old, my dad got orders to Yokosuka, and our flight landed at Atsugi (I think)

I was ten years old, and as we taxied by those rows and rows of Phantoms in the black and dark green camouflage, I had my nose pressed against the window.

I was a fanatical model builder, and to see them live for the first time was a real thrill!

That damn plane. I fell so far behind in school because I sat in class all day drawing that plane instead of paying attention.
