I've always liked this aircraft despite its acquired nickname, "Lead Sled". They were based in my hometown with the Alabama Air National Guard because the Birmingham airport had a 10,000' runway. The old joke was/is that: If a runway could be built to encircle the globe, Republic Aviation would build a plane that would require it!
