Well, here's another weird but true story about a jet plane suddenly appearing on a road. It was about 30 years ago outside of Visalia, Calif., in farm and ranch country, and I was driving on the road. I approached a four-way stop amidst orange groves, and in disbelief I saw coming from my left a U.S. Navy A-4 Skyhawk attack jet being towed along the road by a pick-up truck! If you're not familiar with this type of jet, they are about 45 feet long, have a narrow wingspan; and is a compact, single-seat bomber. Let me tell you, it was a weird sight to see a Navy jet being towed on a single-lane road surrounded by orange groves on a quiet morning in the middle of nowhere, miles from any air field! I learned later that it was occasionally towed to public events as a recruiting tool.
