Bit of history from the colonies - Chappie honored
Salute!
Local news article here, Thot we might reflect on one of the best duos in USAF history of the 'nam years - Black Man and Robin. A TV show of the time was based on the comic strip Batman, but being irreverent fighter pilots, we quickly assigned their team's name, and it was a great team. Think Op Bolo and Olds got some more kills with one of my classmates in back seat.
Olds was the stereotype fighter pilot commander with the moustache and a buncha air-to-air kills, and Chappie was a rising star in the late 60's when we desparately needed examples of what you can achieve regardless of your color.
So from the colonies I send:
Chappie honors namesake Gen. 'Chappie' James on his 101st birthday | WEAR
