Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted May 19, 2024 Posted May 19, 2024 Blue Skies and Tailwinds, Bud.... I got to meet him about forty years ago. I was impressed.
Chas B. Wolfson, SASS #11104 Posted May 19, 2024 Posted May 19, 2024 Sir, you now truly have God as your copilot. I thank you for your dedicated service to this country. Men the likes of you are extremely hard to find, even more so now when you are needed more than ever. God bless. Respectfully, Chas B
Texas Joker Posted May 19, 2024 Posted May 19, 2024 If God is your co pilot you're in the wrong seat.
Trailrider #896 Posted May 19, 2024 Posted May 19, 2024 Col. Robert Scott wrote the book titled, "God Is My Co-Pilot". Bud Anderson and Chuck Yeager were pretty close friends, though I think Bud had more kills. RIP, Sir! Thank you for your dedicated service! RIP! | | |
