I rode a flight in one, from Ohio to Alabama and back, with some USAF guys who had to log a certain number of hours each month. Great airplane. This one will probably never fly again, because the engines are getting very scarce, and as expensive as you can imagine. But, it is a nice subject to practice on when looking for the best filter to make the clouds stand out.
