Flew the tweet at Willie, Randolph and ENJJPT. What a great little jet, just an MG sports car really.......even if it didn't go very far on cross countrys.
Just one more thing in life to make me fee old I guess.

For what it was designed to do...that aircraft is/was amazing! Taking student abuse for 50 years...tough! Nothing like cloud chasing in the Tweet, talk about turning a corner! No regets for any of my 1500 hours in that airframe.

I remember it like it was yesterday ( actually 23 years ) but I still remember Ed Cazalari my IP after a couple overheads telling the box we needed to FS to deplane a crew member and him climbing out giving me a thumbs up and holding up three fingers indicating me to do three around pattern.... starting that right engine.... Crap.... still might have been the best day of my life ever....Thanks ED... for the memories.

That's pretty much all I remember! Sure was a great airplane. Glad I flew it.
