AJ-1 Savage converted by Avco Lycoming in Stratford, CT to flight test the ALF-502 engine.  I've been told by those who worked on it (several moved over to Sikorsky when the company was taken over and turbine engine operations moved to Phoenix) that the flight test mount was something of a pain to work on.  The aircraft was based at Sikorsky Airport in Stratford, CT (at least I think that area's Stratford, it might be part of Bridgeport).

You know that once upon a time I to prayed for the day when I can see Liaoning with J-15s on its deck sailing alongside Kuznetsov with its Su-33s......

But nah, all indications now show that it won't happen.   :(  Instead we'll see Kuznetsov with MiG-29Ks (note that this is not meant as anything actually damning about the MiG).  Dang.
Forget about his bow and arrows- why wait until that sparrow has done his deed when I can just bury him right now 'cause I'm sick and tired of hearing why he wants to have his way with the cock robin!?
