Seamus McGillicuddy Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Attended an air show at Hamilton in the mid ‘80s. A very cantankerous Pappy Boyington was there selling autographed copies of Baa Baa Black Sheep. Being basically cheap and having read the book in high school I passed on the experience of meeting him. Not long after I heard that he’d died. Trying not to pass up experiences like that ever since.

Seamus I think I was there! Not sure if it was at that day or a later event, but got to see Bob Hoover fly at a Hamilton show. The man was amazing! Boyington was notorious for being cranky. And I didn't buy his book either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 This essay points out to me that we had the market covered on ugly airplanes, and some pretty innovative birds as well in the 1930s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I went to SRHS, took a pee test at Hamilton. Been so long... I don't even remember what it was for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
