Commander Carl T. Jensen U.S. Navy: F-8 Crusader, A-4 Skyhawk pilot. Deceased 6 June 2002

In celebration of his life!

"You love a lot of things if you live around them. But there isn't any horse, not before or after, that is as lovely as a great airplane. And men who love them are faithful to them even though they leave them for others. Man has one virginity to lose in Fighters and if it is a lovely airplane he loses it to, there it will forever be."

What a cracking quotation! Condolences in respect of a fellow aviator who obviously means much to his friends - but please tell us more about his life.
