    • Abstract:
      An interview with pilot Graeme Mears is presented. He states that he commissioned to build the F-16 plane for Jim Jensen right after the World Jet Masters. He managed to get all six views of the F-16 including perfect bottom and top profiles and he used the photos for documentation in place of the 3-view drawings. He also sent update emails with pictures to the "Chief" and Michael Patterson during the construction process of F-16 just to keep them excited.
