A couple of back-seats with the Cloggies too. A 'fun-ship' indeed, but you needed outstanding eyesight to see the 'opponent' after the first cross at high-level

I was told that another part of the GAF 'problem' was that the training for the Lufties was in Texas in 8/8 blue and the weather in Germany was not so kind.

I was DP in the tower at Gutersloh when a GAF 104 landed flapless with no hydraulics - and that WAS exciting
