Thanks for the memories, SAMWolf.

The Corsair was my favorite WW II airplane, and Pappy was my favorite Corsair pilot. Whenever I learn that a rerun of one of the "Black Sheep Squadron" TV shows is being shown, I stop what I am doing and watch it. Great stuff!

Had I become a Marine Aviator instead of a Naval Aviator, I would have fought like Hell to serve at least one tour as a Black Sheep.

The Black Sheep are now VMA-214, and fly the Av-8B Harrier, the most unique and (IMHO) exciting aircraft in the US inventory.

I believe the History channel shows re-runs of "Black Sheep Squadron" every once in a while.

I like to watch "Black Sheep Squadron" shows too. Of course I love Pappy, but that crusty old crew chief is a kick too. ;-)
