Fighter Pilot Days: From my childhood days from about 9 to 13 years old, I wanted to be a jet fighter pilot. In my own hand writing with Dad’s help I suspect, I wrote several letters to manufacturers of jet fighters at the time, and received colorful picture back on the following jets.
F-100 Lockheed F-86 lookalike and replacement
F-101 McDonald Douglas Voodoo
F-102 Convair Delta Wing
F-104 Lockheed My favorite, the fastest
F-106 Convair F-102 improvement
In 8th grade science class from Alan King I learned I was red-green colorblind, ending my pilot ambitions.
