Love the teddy bear in the jumpseat. She’s pretty spry for 75 years young! Bet she throws a mean party!

I dunno, those standoff AGMs that come standard on a Cub can probably cover it easy.

Let’s see. A J3 puts around at 60 or so kts. I wonder what the stall speed of an F-16 is. Then too, where was she in relation to the “child”???? In what part of the TFR area was she?

No way she is 75 in that picture! No way! This had to have been taken decades ago! She is a knock-out! I like her co-pilot sitting in the plane!
