I’ve been aboard that aircraft when she was at Metcalf Field back in the mid-90’s with the CAF. Her cockpit has about the same room as a VW Beetle, and one gets quite a sense of awe for all those who flew them into combat. The skin of those aircraft is thin enough to be able to move it outward with thumb pressure. Not exactly proof against 20mm cannon fire...
