Met him at Oshkosh. Wisconsin, in 2005. I remembered a wonderful interview years ago on satellite TV that was sooooooooo down to earth.
Last Sunday, I watched one of his old mounts, The Golden Apple Trust F.86A being flown spiritedly at Duxford by Mark Linney. Robin Olds would have loved to see it, and yes, he did fly this very aircraft, the world's oldest flying jet.
