About 2 years ago, I ran into a member of the Black Sheep Squadron at a supermarket. Talking with him I learned that he had also helped to setup the Top Gun School.
I had some of our troop of Boy Scouts with me and pressed him to talk to them about some of his adventures. Thanks to TV reruns many of our scouts were familiar with the Black Sheep and they certainly knew about Top Gun. I think it was a real charge for the boys as well as for the old warrior.
Unfortunately, the Tuskegee Airmen and the Black Sheep are passing into history and we may be the last who will be able to know them personally.
