What's this?

It's not a small aircraft............I was picking up an F-4 at Shaw ......


that had just gotten painted (pic below returning to S-J). There was an A-10 parked next to me on the ramp. The A-10 pilot and I were looking eye to eye with each other! The two airplanes are real close to the same size, and to put things into perspective, the F-4 is about the size of the B-25, which is what my Dad flew!
