thinwing Posted May 8, 2017 Report Posted May 8, 2017 Christina Olds gave a great talk about her father....it seems he got a late start in the Vietnam war...but when he showed up as squadron commander in 1966 ,he wasted very little time...at an squadron meeting the new commander says..I need to know everything you know about combat in Vietnam,because in three weeks ,I am going to be leading you on sorties.One young pilot pips up "yeah sure!!"And without missing a beat ,Olds zooms on to the guy and says"Starting with you!..You are going to be my wingman!. 4 Quote
