Wow! The end of an era. Only place to see them now is in museums or on a stick at a nondiscript park.

The SLUF was a great aircraft, sad to see it gone.

Indeed. the SLUF was an aircraft that pioneered things that are now commonplace:
- HUD
- CCIP
- integrated navigation and weapons delivery
- ...
Truly an icon!
