The 101-year-old former pilot was joined on a Dream Flights flight by another fighter pilot, Clarence “Bud” Anderson.

Thanks for posting. That amazing generation is almost gone now.

If you want to hear a GREAT interview with Clarence "Bud" Anderson (mentioned in this article), listen to Jocko Podcast #346, "Flying and Fighting w/ Legendary WW2 Fighter Pilot & Triple Ace 'Bud' Anderson."

Go Navy! Imagine surviving to 101 given all the risks he took, not only the war but logging over 8,000 hours of flight time. A charmed life against all odds.

The stories of these men are awesome in the very least.

All of those who fought right down to the dishwasher.

He lived a good long life and now is flying up there.

I’ve seen .5 kills before, where they shared it with another pilot, but how do you get a .75 kill?

He listened to Biden call Americans who disagree with the government “fascists” and died of a broken heart.

So he was part of the stupid generation where our best white men murdered their best white men and now we have racist dark skinned muslims running around who hate white skinned christians.

Yeah, we should honor these people. /sarc
