My dad did indeed have a deposit down for a BD-5. It led him down a rabbit hole of looking up websites about it and what's being done with the planes now. He really enjoyed that, so thank you for posting this article. It brought a 73 year old man happiness while he reminisced about when he used to fly and dreamed of owning his own plane. He only ever flew single engine planes and was in a flying club in rural Wisconsin. I think the club owned a plane. He never had his own and either flew the club's plane or rented. He would have been flying in to Wittman Field for the fly-in back then. We went many years as kids, but driving. I remember seeing the F-117 shortly after it was made public. I probably saw an SR-71 but don't really remember. I do remember hearing what we think was a sonic boom at home that year which we speculated was the SR-71 flying in and maybe going a bit too fast over the farms and small towns in central Wisconsin. I might be getting old enough to reminisce myself.
