Don,
My friend goes to the Wright Pat museum from time to time to see an old friend. Its the A-1 that he flew in 'Nam.
Only reason its there is that its the same airplane that Bernie Fisher flew while getting his Medal Of Honor a few years later in the same area.
Believe that the A-1's carried as large a load of ordinance as the B-17 in WW2. Unbelieveable but it sure was a workhorse. Got my friend home alive and Bernie and his wingman as well.
The world is very small indeed. As far as being safe, am heading back overseas in 36 hours. You do not realize what we have here in America until you leave it. I realize what we have here and have fought to defend it, as you have. Just wish that others realized it as well...
Take care,
Joe
