Title: Story by one of my Heroes
Post by: john e. holliday on December 19, 2012, 08:56:17 AM
Over in the post about  "identify This Ship Circa 1974" I asked/mentioned something about Bob Hunt's book he is writing.   He stated he needed my E-Mail address which I gladly sent him.   Within a few moments I got the story.  As I didn't want to tie up the computor I had daughter down load the story to a CD.   Anyway I started to check out the CD as the first one she did had pictures of our trip to Florida.  The second one worked and I started reading.   What a great modeller we have in our midst as well as a great writer.  Learned some things about people I never got to meet and how he did a quick finish on a plane.   I imagine if you want a copy of the story, an E-Mail to Bob will probably get a down load to you.  Thanks a lot Bobby from an old man.

The Caprice was before my time. When I came on the scene you were rolling with your F105 at a contest out on the east coast. Bill Simons was rolling with his Shoestring. If I remember correctly from looking at your ship, your F105 was all in line. Man its getting hard to remember LOL.

I read the story of the Caprice after Bob sent it to me some time ago.  As he said it's not a quick read but the writing is excellent and flows very well.
The subject is one of great intrest to just about anyone on this forum and a trip well worth the time and effort to read it.

I don't think I ever got around to thanking Bob for it...I've had cause to thank Bob for so many things over the years that I may have forgotten this particular one.

Thanks Bob, for the adventure.
