That would be cool … its such an amazing bit of kit …only seen them 3 times for real, but for them to have been around since the mid 50’s ? … pretty impressive

Yes; Two spare 72nd F-18 Vert Stabilizers
V-tail? Not familiar with that. Was that some reference to “Flight of the Old Dog” or something else?
The BUFF and I are roughly the same age, and hopefully will last just as long!
So the new re-engined birds are now going to be B-52"J"s?
A buddy of mine acquired some Iron bomber (F-mod?) ejection seats when they were cut up for “SALT” talks or whatever. He re-furb’d them and sold them to some of the former occupants over North Vietnam. So there are Buff-drivers that sit in the same seats, in their dens, as the one they flew in over SEA. How cool is that.
