I'll miss him. A wonderful guy.
I wish I had met him. I always thought I had been born 30 years too late
although I know there was nothing glamorous about flying and fighting
back then.
I landed at the small airport in Huntsville Texas back around 1975 and
the owner of the motel I stayed at had wall to wall pictures and more
showing the Flying Tigers and the pilots. I talked with the owner about
his flying in that group but I was so tired from flying all day I had to
get to bed. The next day he was not around so I didn't get the chance
to ask more questions. I don't even remember his name but you may know
who I'm talking about.
