Give 'em hell, Rummy!!!

Rummy flew Grumman F9F Panther jet fighers in the 50's. Always liked that about him, it was a kickass aircraft.

That's a good pic of the F9F and didn't realize Rummy flew them.

The gentleman next door passed away about 8 or 9 months ago, he was 90. He was a Naval Aviator and flew in WWII as well as after and flew F9F’s, I believe it was the last aircraft he flew.

His memory was slipping the last few years but he had a den with many pics and mementos, he was very interesting to talk to.
