LOL! I wondered how long it would take ya! :P
She called this evening and she’s available. Yay! Funny thing, too, just when she was telling me....in the most round-about way that is her way LOL....my DIL texted me to ask if we were coming and when. So I was able to tell her yes.
Bet you’d better be in bed by now and not watching those Gaza streams or you’re going to be sooo sorry in the morning. :) See ya Saturday!

This wound up being one of the longest dogfights in recorded history, and it was classified for decades after the end of the Korean War. We’re just glad that some of these acts of heroism are finally able to come to light.
On November 18, 1952, at the height of the Korean War, Silver Star recipient Royce Williams would be involved in one of the longest dogfights in recorded history.
Williams would find himself up against seven Soviet MiG-15 fighter jets during a harrowing 35-minute battle. Through a combination of skill, experience, and sheer luck Williams would survive the battle only to be faced with the challenge of landing his crippled Panther back on a carrier.
