Interesting this happened just a couple of days after actor Robert Conrad died. Conrad played to commander of the Flying Tigers, Pappy Boyington, in the popular TV series “Baa Baa Black Sheep”.

No funeral service is planned, he said.

Not unusual for people at such advanced ages. All of their friends have predeceased them.

Nonetheless, we will remember, Sir, and we thank you for your service.

I got to meet Robert L. Scot around 1994 at a historical society meeting. He was very charismatic. Approaching 90 and really sharp.

My two favorite little tidbits of AVG Trivia:

1. The Flying Tiger logo was designed by Walt Disney:

2. The presiding judge at Charles Manson's murder trial, Charles Older, flew with the Flying Tigers. He was appointed to the judgeship by then CA Governor Ronald Reagan.

Man...what baby boomer didn’t have the ‘Flying Tigers’ on their list of heroes?

So sad...

RIP Ace.

BTW the movie “Flying Tigers” is on Amazon Prime free. I tried to watch it a couple of weeks ago but it was just too hokey and saccharine. I was afraid I’d go into hypoglycemic shock.

Rest in peace, Chief Losonsky, and thank you very much for your service and sacrifice on our behalf. Condolences to his family and friends.

My father trained with one of the flying tiger’s. His Nick name was Earthquake McGoon. I don’t recall his real name.

Awesome what those guys up and decided to do, particularly with the primitive transportation back then.
