off the USS Kitty Hawk. Nothing quite like a cat launch in an F4 Wowser. Would have loved to try a cat launch just once. :-)

Yuppers. Was after the first sortie of the morning. They were arming up for the next sortie and a hung bomb exploded. 500 pounders stacked between the aircraft. One plane after another BOOM!

I never got time in the RG model. Plenty of time in Cherokee 180s, Arrows, and Moonies. Have some time in an Aztec as well.

They go about 130 kts for about 6 hours... Usually out last pilots and passengers...

Why investigate when the airplane didn't crash and all are safe? It's the government, stupid! Apologies for rudeness.

Cherokee is like a mule. It is 250k I meant. I typicaly put 350k miles on them. Engine and transmission is probably the best around. Once I had hydraulic line from transmission leak out all the fluid, made it to the exit. Fixed, filled up and thing worked like before. Probably the best used car buy around.
I don't like the sissy Liberty.

After several passes at about 80 miles per hour, the three-man crew in the jeep was able to see the problem and figure out how to fix it. ...only in a Jeep!

That is one talented SUV. Beg to differ my friend...there are SUV's but only one Jeep.
All those lard laden SUV"s out here are no match for a "JEEP"
The JEEP is a stand alone vehicle in his category, period!

That is 250,000 miles :-)Let me guess...XJ right? Cherokee 4.0/AW4 transmission last forever. I know a fellow who has 385,000 miles on it and still drives strong!

From a google source... The Chrysler Group is recalling 2000-02 Jeep Wranglers, 2000-01 Jeep Cherokees and 1999-2002 Jeep Grand Cherokees with 4.0-liter engines. The automaker said debris accumulation in the engine compartments of these vehicles could potentially cause a fire. You do not know what you're talking about...just swallowing innuendos without facts on hand.
The recall you are talking about, is a debris shield between #3 and #4 injectors, top of the intake manifold to keep hey out of engine compartment and thus preventing unwanted fire due to heat.
This is because the Jeeps are used a lot in the farm belt countries.
Recalls of any kind do not imply a failure but an preventive improvement in that direction.

Hi! :-)
You can tell if it was an "E" model by looking at the nose. Does it have a pitot tube sticking out of the front of the radome (nose)? If so it's either an "E" or an RF-4C. The "E"s also have the Vulcan cannon built in the nose as well.

FAA policy is to investigate ANY incident. FAA Policy is to seek out busy work at the expense of tax payers, producers, and personal freedom.
