Also his unit and the aircraft they were flying was going bye bye. That's always an easy time to say can I go home now? The age of the birds he was flying took GUTS to strap on. A carrier landing takes guts in any fixed wing, heck rotary wing too look how many accidents we recently had in helicopters. I love this!! W is a great man and the dims are making him greater. He's becoming a Legend.

I believe the TX ANG was flying F-102's and F-105's at that time. The F-102 was built in the mid 50's and the F-105 was built in the late 50's. I think W flew the 102's. This wasn't an easy bird to fly, even when it was new. It was a fast airplane that was very unforgiving to incompetent pilots.
