Well sir, my hat is off to you. I've read that crews on Wild Weasel missions were first in, last out. Very brave souls you and your fellow pilots were. I'm honoured to have had the opportunity just to correspond with a Thunder Chief pilot.
I watched a documentary the other night about the Thunder Chief and F4 pilots who deeked the NV Air force in to a mêlée that resulted in the biggest single ariel confrontation of the war. It was primarily about Robin Olds and his crew. Well Fred, the best of the season to you. I look forward to future exchanges.
