Oh man. This guy was the real deal. RIP Snort.
Thank you for posting that link.
Thank you for your service in this world.
May you be blessed in the next one.
Rest In Peace and fly with the angels.
I didn’t know it but he was onboard America when I was back in 77-78. In his earlier days he was in F-142 Ghostriders squadron attached to our air wing. I was a ships company Machinist Mate 77-80. The famous fly-by he made came 10 years later in his career. RIP Shipmate.
Cool.
Break the sound barrier and everyone goes swimming.

I just heard about Snodgrass, what a shame. I met him when he flew Jim Read’s F4U.
