First, AWESOME and thanks for serving. What did you drive?
Second, was that the one where he got his initial training?
No. He was a flight instructor there. I was a student. I met him once, but can’t remember if I ever flew with him. Everyone knew he was son of CINCPAC and had a history of being a questionable pilot not that that mattered much. I was only there maybe 4 to 5 months then on to Texas.
Oh, we had T2A trainers in Meridian. In Texas, we had F-9 Cougars from the Korean War. A-4s(skyhawks) were where I landed.
