This is the plane similar to the one this is supposed to have happened in/on/or about.
Now that's a story!
God Bless his l'il ol' heart. And may the rest of his life be long and uneventful!
He's an Aggie......... figures

While at the station hospital, Naval Air Station, Lemoore, CA in 1964, i changed a leg cast for a Naval Aviator who had survived a fall in the high sierras. his chute didn't open and he landed in the snow and then bounced into a tree trunk which broke his leg. i remember thinking that he must be one of the luckiest people in the world. but then only a few months later, the poor guy was shot down and killed over North Vietnam.
His brother might be the Aggie that bought a bunch of septic tanks after the war but couldnt figure out how to fire them.
