Childhood hero right there.

 

[MrSmitty]

Read both his books, talk about "been there, done that" He is not just involved with history, he IS history.. 95, and still seems pretty sharp, I follow him on twitter, and he's funny too. "Bud Anderson is still also alive, he's been said to be Chucks "wingman" although they only flew together a few times
