ATAC lost another jet, this time a Hawker Hunter, while returning to NAS Pt Mugu. Fair winds and following seas to the pilot, thoughts to his family, friends, and fellow ATAC members. IT has been a hard hard for all lately.
For those unfamiliar with the Hawker Hunter family of fighter/attack jets, some have called them in the past 'the A-4 for the rest of the world'.

Same timeframe aircraft and exported to numerous countries around the world. A real gentlemen's plane to fly and a workhorse for the company as well.
