Sam, nice to see the 211 WIA's ocassionally.
My son was an aviator in that squadron of which I visited many times during his tour of duty in Yuma, including a Tiger Cruise from Hawaii after one of his deployments. I think I've said it before on this blog; but I always found it humorus that they nicknamed their squadron "Chicken F_ _ _ers after their tail insignia,CF. HOO RAH & SEMPER FIDELIS...

To be honest... this one does it for me. Can you imagine in 1944 being in your P51 Mustang and encountering one of these bad boys? US planes in the Korean War still couldn't surpass the Me-262 at speed.

This (I believe) F-104 sits in the woods in New Jersey. Right past Great Adventure/Six Flags.
