Sorry I can€™t be more informative, but I told the Air Staff they were nuts to try to fight a war under rules of engagement that tied both my hands behind my back. They told me that they thought I was nuttier than they were. About all I can tell you is that I€™ve been retired for nearly thirty years. UPT at Laredo to the 1st Commando Wing in Florida. Flying mostly C-123, B-26K, O-1E, T-28, C-46, and other items too numerous to mention in places in the world not mentioned even now in polite society. Sorry I can€™t be more informative, Jack; but there€™s nothing to worry about unless I am nominated for Secretary of State. I was involved in a major aircraft accident in 1966 in what was then the Republic of Vietnam. I also lay claim to having the more flying time recently over the Dominican Republic than any other pilot currently living in North America, mostly in C-123B and U-10.
Good luck on your compendium. Jimmie Butler can fill you in on my feelings about reunions. ONE OF THESE DAYS I€™M GOING TO CLIMB THAT MOUNTAIN. Take care. Submitted 1998.
