About 20 years ago I was sitting with some Boy Scouts from my son’s troop selling popcorn at a local supermarket. An older fellow comes out and he’s wearing veteran gear with a Black Sheep Squadron hat. I couldn’t resist engaging him in conversation and found that he had indeed flown with Pappy Boynton and later was one of the founding pilots/trainers with Top Gun. I introduced him to all the scouts and was pleasantly surprised to learn that most of them knew about the Black Sheep and of course Top Gun. I think he was pleased for being appreciated . Made my day as well.
That is awesome!
