Yeah, I’m guessing ‘Bossman’ dropped off your Christmas card list.

I really enjoyed that. I could feel the frustration at the end – I wanted to go get that MiG too. Thanks for telling the story.?

Just out of curiosity, who was “Bossman?”

PS Bet you got a (OK) 2 that you didn’t deserve either!

I ask- What would Maverick had done? LOL.

Good yarn Lex. Salivating almost eh? Sometimes it rains and you could have too much action..I was reading about the Cactus Airforce and the Battle for Guadacanal- again. Five medal of honor winners with their hands full nearly every minute airborne!

Time and place will never intersect for you again, but I know you would have fit right in that Cactus Group. You were born too late!

I spend endless hours trying to hammer this concept into my teenage son’s head. The right thing to do is always the hardest – whether it’s dropping a MIG, launching a special, or just doing the speed limit (okay 5 mph over). Great story – but where’s the soundtrack…
