This article about Gail Halvorsen was a cool find. Looks like he was still getting around quite well 2 years ago, and enjoying his flights over the years doing candy drops around Utah. It must be a thrill for him to fly in the old war birds.

I love the second pic at the site. That impish grin and twinkle in his eyes makes me guess he’s a real character.
