Hooray
I can't believe I get to see a wonderful part of my past coming back. Bob and this ship was the first plane I ever saw do a full pattern. It was also the first full fuselage ship I ever saw. Bob was also the first Nats champ I ever met face to face. The bad news is that I am old enough to remember all of this clearly LOL.
Correction, his F86 Sabre was the first of the above. I saw the United very shortly after that.
P.S. his Sabre was a stone cold killer. Trust me.
