I heard that there's a movie coming out about Mexico's "Aztec Eagles" P-47
fighter squadron of WWII. Supposed to be like Tuskegee Airmen, except these
guys had it worse--they weren't even allowed back into their country after the
war. It supposedly is gonna have some great Pre-WW1 flying stuff dealing with
the Mexican Revolution.

TPC

A bit of errata on Mexician 'Jugs'.

Was at Swea****er Air Base, TX (after the WASP's had left) going
through P-47 RTU.

First morning of check outs and I was one of the first three to fly.
Cranked the R2800 up and called tower for taxi instructions.

They told me to shut down as just received word to transfer all the
birds to Mexico.

Never did get to fly the bird as I then went into P-51's.

The P-47's were the D-20 model and only had 10 or so hours on them
(brand new). Probably replaced the war weary birds Mexico had in the
Aztec Eagles Squadron.
