Who says an RV can't fly with a jet? ...no problem when the "go fast" A-4 stays in the landing pattern at 150kts.
Three of us flew our RV-4s to Sanford, FL for the first flight of an A-4C Skyhawk, following an 8 year restoration. Dan Carr, who flew A-4Ls with me back in the '70s, has rebuilt and operates this beautiful Skyhawk, under the umbrella of Skyhawk Ventures, LLC. Another good friend, Larry Elmore, is the lucky pilot. You'll be seeing it at airshows in the near future.
Bob Woolley put his "Agressor" RV-4 where it needed to be and I pointed the camera from his back seat as we chased the jet on this first flight. I did the fun part on the second test flight, as I flew wing on the jet in my RV-4.
...just posted the video on YouTube last night.
