Hi Kathy,
Col. Robin Olds was more the real deal than anyone I ever knew about. I did not know him personally but I know of the high esteem in which he was held. Worship is another word that comes to mind. He was a military brat, an air corps brat that went to West Point, was an all American tackle on the football team, and then went to war. His record speaks for itself and no one can deny that he was made of the “Right Stuff!” The “Wolf Pack,” (WP) on the tails of the F-4s, and “Bolo,” no one can even write that kind of story.
He was a big guy but never a bully. He was loved by his family. His daughter has produced a moving, first person account of her Dad that will bring tears to your eyes. (you tube has it)
Thank you for tweaking my memory of a great fighter pilot,
Bat Guano
Good evening, BatGuano...thanks for sharing your experiences.
Glad your memory was tweaked.
