I am 81 years old. I started flying at age 16 in a J-3 Cub and was for awhile the youngest pilot in the Arkansas Civil Air Patrol. AFROTC commission in 1955, took the eye test seven times, read 20/30 every time, and thus became a navigator. Active duty USAF 1955-1985. I knew about the “mushing” problem with the F-105 because it was discussed when I was a research director in Air Force Systems Command.
