I had similar thoughts during the Pearl Harbor tribute yesterday, only a few heros left from our last major battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one sense this is a very good thing because it reflects that we have gone a very long time since our last world war. Knock on wood.

MyNameIsNobody Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Great Sunday Morning story. Talked about John flying cover for Lindbergh during some of his "advisor" flights in Pacific. John's capsule is within spitting distance of Spirit in Washington. Worth a watch. A true legend not just in aviation...God's speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
