Last I talked to him he still doesn't remember from seeing he was going to land in the fire and waking up in the hospital.
I remember seeing him bandaged up working at the Fighter Wing in Miramar after the accident (VF-51?). Didn't know the guy other than some minor dealings with him at the wing. Do you know how well his scars healed and if he got back to flying?
