Piloted by the not-so-great Santini.

I knew an old crop duster pilot who joined the Air force and few Saber Jets in the 50’s. One day he was in a formation just outside of Memphis.
The formation flew into clouds and as he recounted later to me, they went in the clouds while in formation and he said he lost sight of his wingmen and he said, I couldn’t see anyone, so I bailed out. Just like that. He claimed he had power failure and didn’t want to lose more than one jet.
Crop dusters were crazy bunch. Lots of fun.
