Jim Patton forwarded this to Frank Bonansinga

This occurred during a 1990 airshow at the bottom of a loop in Harrison, AK

The guy in the MIG15 just climbed on out, made his approach, lowered the gear, touched down and taxiied in with

very minor damage, it was reported. Just like it was all planned. SURE IT WAS!

The Blue Angel F8F's were based at JAX. We could watch them practice and it was some treat! Note FM in winter greens.

Interesting runway construction at Madeira.
