->         Yes, the Mk-6b was modified to the 6-3 wing and the LE slats
->   got back on. Now that was a kite to fly. The slats were operated by
->   the air flow. At a slow speed, the wing has to be nose-up a bit to
->   increase lift and that would present the lip of the slat to the air
->   pressure and slide it open. Neat.

->         Nice reading, no?

You the man.

Don't care you never did the combat gig as just climbing into
and flying one of those bad boys earns my respect.

Loved the bit about Korea where Sabre pilots scored kills without firing
a shot by scaring pilots of Mig 15's into a spin.
