Now Were Talking Aim-9M’s are standard…and we’ve got Martin Baker Bucket Seats.

Those of us who are old enough to remember know that there’s probably nothing worse than good ‘ole Cal Worthington trying to sell you a used automobile on TV.  His commercials were so annoying that they stuck in your head. Well now we’ve uncovered that there might actually be something worse.  This skit of an F-4 fighter pilot trying to sell you a used F-4 while doing an impression of Cal Worthington features horrible acting with terrible camera work and yet somehow it will still make nostalgic #avgeeks laugh.

The Cal Worthington impersonator actually appears to be a F-4 pilot from the 113th Tactical Fighter Squadron that was based at Terre Haute, Indiana.  Back in 1991, the base transitioned from an F-4 unit to F-16s.  Terre Haute continued to fly the F-16 until 2007 when the flying mission ceased as part of the 2005 BRAC decision.  Today, the 181st Intelligence Wing at the base processes UAV data feeds and provides intelligence to support units around the world.

Crazy Cal: A War Hero

While Cal Worthington was best known as the semi-famous owner of the Worthington Auto Group who appeared in countless commercials and died a very wealthy man, he was actually a decorated airman and war hero first. Cal served in World War II.  He flew 29 missions over Germany in the B-17.  He received 5 air medals and a Distinguished Flying Cross that was presented by Jimmy Doolittle himself.

Short, stubby, and more modern looking.  The 'new-ish' United colors look pretty good on an Airbus A320 but make it look shorter.  What do you think? 66 4
No gear necessary where we’re going.

Delta Air Lines A220-300 arrives at Austin Bergstrom International Airport after a flight from Atlanta.  While they are no Mad Dog, the 2-3 seating, modern cabin, and full size window in the bathroom make it pretty unique.  #a220 #airbusa220300 @delta #KAUS #austinspotters #avgeek #avgeekery @instaaviation @combat_learjet @instagramaviation 66 1

Something special in the air. An @americanair Boeing 737 departs Austin Bergstrom International bound for DFW.  The 35 minute flight is just enough time to get to 24,000 feet before they descend back down.  Pilots check in with Fort Worth center, grab the latest weather, flick the seat belt sign off, put it back on then head back down.  #avgeek #avgeekery #boeing #boeing737 #737ng #americanairlines #kaus #austinbergstrom @aircrewlife @aastews  #instaaviation 89 0
Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-800 turning off Runway 35R at Austin Bergstrom International Airport.  This photo was taken from the new observation area.  It's a great place to spot airplanes in the morning.  The setting sun makes photography a bit more challenging.  #KAUS #austinbergstromairport #avgeek #avgeekery @southwestair @ausairport @austinspotter @ausspotting @instaaviation @combat_learjet @swaramprat #boeing737 #winglets #pilotlife #crewlife #ausspotters #atxspotters 83 1
