Got to meet him at a Airshow was working at. On Hamilton AFB in CA. a few months before he past on.
Can you see what would happen to him if he was into today’s military.
How many great WAR time leaders have we lost because of the PC we have now.

Definately sounds like the type of guy who would have been canned over Tailhook

I met him at a Brown Field airshow a year or so before he died. Even then, he cut a swashbuckling figure. They don't make them like Pappy any more, although, The Great Santini came damn close!
