 The Phantom aircraft was commissioned to a local park and once it was installed as a memorial to pilots in the Vietnam conflict, it was researched and was discovered to be one of the planes flown by a local pilot was shot down and lost in Vietnam. I knew his family. His granddaughter was one of my 4-H kids. There is no one in the cockpit of the aircraft, no mannequin standing in for a pilot, but I often get images that seem to have a pilot there, especially when images are taken at sunset.
