    Wow, talk about blow my mind. The GF read your BAGGY FOUR ZERO book. She was lost with the pilot jargon but liked the book and its message. The plight of the US fighting man and the confusion of war that you expressed were well done.

    She is giving it to her favorite nephew who spent 20 years flying navigator on the "I can't say" missions over "there", he just retired from the AF saying zero about nuttin "I don't know".

    I am reading MIKE FIVE EIGHT now. She will get it next and pass it along to finally get to the local library and be read by school students.

    Thank you for your service, it is appreciated and awe inspiring. Double that sentiment for your ability to put thoughts into words. I would love to see a collaboration of thoughts by you and DON MCMANMUS in book form your unique writing styles and abilities are amazing.

    I'll say.

    Flew both in pilot training, and then was a T-37 IP for over four years.

    Also flew the Lockheed AT-33/F-80 and the Cessna O-2.

    I thought you would have. I do not know as much about T-37s but i know a lot about T-38s. I had engine run license and red x orders for both.

    I worked on the T-38s at Beale AFB, before I worked on the U2/SR-71 side. That was before they split them up into "sides" actually.

    Anyway, the landing gear system on that plane is stupidly complex, electrically. That is about all I remember about that plane. [:)]

    Complex? Nah. Put handle down, gear go down. Put handle up, gear go up. Gotta be that simple for airplane drivers, eh? [;)]
