Ok boys, I'm back from the 1st Fighter Association reunion. I realize this isn't Facekbook, but since it's aviation related (vs football ) I'll pass on a few goodies.

We were inducted onto the "Aviation Wall of Fame" at the old Mission Inn in Riverside, CA. Guess it was for our service after WWII at March AFB. I didn't realize what a big deal it was until all the local and Calif big wigs showed up for the ceremony.

But the best part was, we even had 8 of the old WWII guys still there. One guy was 92, as sharp as he was in his 20s and a newly wed (ok, 18 months ago but everything is relative). She was a knockout in her 70s, so going 20 years younger is always a player (Buzz). Anyway, great time! If I run into anyone in the LAX pilot lounge I'll bore ya with my pictures..........Including my flight in a PT-22 that we had for our flying day. The old guys hadn't flown it since pilot training. They all made a flight and no one broke a hip
