Joined the fray just after the crash. Just interested in any FBW plane that has a problem. Thot I could learn something and maybe pass on some lessons-learned from the genesis of FBW flight controls.

Flew 600 +/- hours in first operational FBW jet from 1979 to 1984. Was staff puke or would have flown a lot more. Total time 4,000 hours +/- in F-101B, F102A, A-37A/B, A-7D and F-16A/B. 600 combat hours with about 400 combat missions.

Systems engineer after retiring from USAF.
