Thanks Jim, that was great.
I kind of felt that way when I took my favorite teacher and let him fly my Commander, a few years ago, he had been trained to fly B-25 to knock out Japanese gun emplacements, but fortunately it never happened. Had not flown in 40 years but made a great landing in about an 8 or 9 knot direct crosswind. Made all that money spent that year well worth it. He now has Parkinson's so that was his last flight. But we still correspond by snail mail.
God Bless, Don

Read this to the end, and you won't be able to speak normally for a few minutes, even if you weren't an aviator. What a great story of another WWII vet; and closer to home, a combat experienced Naval Aviator!
Semper Fi,
Mike
This is an unbelievably well written story involving a "Warbird" that I know you will enjoy!
