Congratulations to our own Jim "Pappy" Goolsby for being awarded Warbirds of America Command Wings. This achievement is earned by flying in 20 EAA Warbird events and 500+ hours in civilian warbirds. Even though one may have flown 4 or 5 daily airshows at AirVenture 2007, it counts as 1 event, etc.
Pappy's warbird time includes over 1200 hours in his CJ, B-24 Captain, B-17, B-25, C-47, and it goes on from there. His 23,000 hours of airline time doesn't count.
While a number of us RedStars hold Senior Warbird Aviator wings, Pappy is our first guy (I know of) to achieve this level. Command Wings are the mark of highest flying participation with the Warbirds and brings respect not just for Jim, but to all of RedStars for years of effort in doing what we do.
Just wait until next year, we are going to have a great time with the Oshkosh 50 CJ's (Yaks invited too)
