Jack Broughton, ex lead of the Thunderbirds and well known aviation writer
is recuperating from a heart attack. He is in a hospital in New York. The
prognosis I've been given is good.
I have kept the Thunderbird organization in the loop on this, and I'm
posting it here in the clear in the hope that many of you out there will
take the time to send him a card. He's been through a rough time.
When you do, you may identify yourselves as a friend of the Fighter Pilots
Fellowship, and FWIW, you may consider yourselves a friend of mine as well.
Thank you

Col. Jack Broughton is the author of several books: "Thud Ridge" and
"Going Downtown, the War against Hanoi". Broughton was a flight
leader, flying the F-105 Thunderchief, sometimes called the "Thud".

These are must read books, I've read few books about combat flying in
Vietnam or anywhere that were written as well.
