Draken have lost an A-4 flying out of Cherry Point in the US today. Pilot ejected (but was reported to be badly injured). Unsure on which airframe yet but probably a Kahu jet as that is what they fly out of there for JTAC training for the USMC. www.witn.com/2023/07/12/civilian-pilot-ejects-after-takeoff-cherry-point/

(22 years' service later?)
	I LOVE flying, but it sure is hard on my arms...
