Skyhawks are sweet planes. Beatiful handling, and tough enough for carrier landings. Also, Heinemann’s Hotrod is relatively simple to work on.

If I was among the super-wealthy, I’d rather have an A-4 than a Harrier. Do airports charge you to repair all the melted tarmac?

Not to worry, it’s all sucked up and recycled through the intake. I think mostly they do a standard take off and landing instead of VSTOL now days anyway. I really don’t know how anyone could afford the fuel.

Yes Skyhawks are sweet indeed. If you do become super-wealthy, please call me. I’d really like to drive your new toy. :)
