    In doing a random search I came across this posting. Thank you so much for having it posted. My father was an aviation jet mechanic on F-4 Phantom jets and this particular aircraft is from his last squadron, the Grim Reapers. He died as a result of service aboard the Franklin D. Roosevelt aircraft carrier. He had just turned 42, I was 12. He’s been my American hero all my life.

    He was neither a sucker nor a loser for having chosen the US Navy as his career. I couldn’t be more proud of him.

    I actually live outside a US Marine airbase on the other side of NC and cannot wait to go see the plane. I called the Hickory Aviation Museum to find out more information. They said the finishing touches are being done now so it will be going on display soon. The gentleman who took my call said if I made arrangements ahead of my visit I could get a personal tour!

    Thank you again for the post. You made an old lady very happy today! Merk.
