Conversation piece sent by Steve White. Flew this airplane several times. Double banged in this backseat one day, soloed 61-0110 the next morning, late October, 1980. Airplane on display at Santa Rosa, CA as the Riverboat Special. Probably Hill AFB because we deployed there so often. Good view of towbar and Coleman Tug aft section. Supposed to have a brake rider in cockpit if under tow. Note semi lowered canopy. Seems we were not supposed to taxi or tow the airplane with the canopy(s) full open because that was the weakest position, most likely position to fail and come crashing down on an arm or hand. Never heard of a canopy failing or falling.
