he flew dozens of<br \/>\ndifferent fighters and bombers &#8211; mostly<br \/>\nprop planes and some of the early jets.<\/p>\n<p>When we visit the Air Force museums with all the<br \/>\nold planes on display he has multiple stories<br \/>\nto tell about many of them.\u00a0 Stories from funny<br \/>\nto tragic and the loss of lots of lives.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s sobering to listen to as he details the<br \/>\nevents from being engaged in battle.\u00a0 Stories<br \/>\nof his friends being shot out of the sky.\u00a0 Stories<br \/>\nof getting back alive even though your plane<br \/>\nis riddled with bullet holes.<\/p>\n<p>Stories of thanking God for another safe<br \/>\nmission and getting closer to the end of the war.<\/p>\n<p>Later he transitioned to the missile program and<br \/>\nthen ended up doing planning for the deployment of<br \/>\nthe famous SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance plane.<\/p>\n<p>No other time in history would it have been<br \/>\npossible to go from horses to missiles and<br \/>\nsupersonic flight.\u00a0 Truly an amazing time<br \/>\nto be alive!<\/p>\n<p>While we are living somewhat comfortable daily lives<br \/>\nthere are thousands and thousands of men and<br \/>\nwomen putting their lives on the line for us.<\/p>\n<p>All over the world &#8211;
