Weasel pilots are crazy brave.
The greatest Weasel of all times was Billy Sparks — Sparky was kind enough to share with me all of his stories about life at Takhli — these stories really helped me when I wrote a script based on on G.I. Basel’s book. I have called the movie version, Operation Rolling Thunder. Unfortunately, although I have had scripts option in Hollywood before, I can’t get to the right people with this exciting story. It would take Bellisario or Bruckheimer to do it—and they would both understand the importance of the F-105 pilots, who have been forgotten because that was what LBJ wanted. Also tried John Travolta, who is a pilot himself...still no luck. But I keep slogging away at it. Starting every morning at 05:00!
