Yeah! *At first I thought it was my imagination, but then I said, "NO. *
Those things are up several feet from their no-fly position." *Cool.

And, on the 121: *I flew from Travis AFB to Hawaii, then to Kwajalein
and onto Guam in one, sitting backwards of course. *Then to Japan. *
Flew all the way from Japan to Midway and then back to Travis. *Another
great aircraft and a great company (Lockheed) too.
