MAKO69 186 Posted January 21, 2014 The guy Clint Eastwood and Chuck Norris dream they could be: Col. Robin Olds with trademark mustache, a WWII Ace and a MIG Killer in Vietnam.

MAKO69 186 Posted January 22, 2014 Here is a pic of his plane I took at the USAF Meseum Dave, was that the rig he road into battle or a retired Charlie painted up like his. Cause it looks like an updated block, it has the low viz formation lights painted over? I guess it could be his spook if it went back stateside for an overhaul/upgrade. Lord knows all the stuff coming home from Fvckin Vietnam man, was tired. Be cool if they did a wax statue like him with the beat up bent bird in the photo (Ah yes, a crew chief and team's fav, a bent bird. reminds me of a conversation years ago between a pilot and his girls Dad. "You know sir, you keep bringing her back like this I'm not going to let you date her, she's my daughter! ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viggen 644 Posted January 22, 2014 A true legend. LOL ! This guy was surely "someone" .................. but I don't think could match C. Norris ! ( ..... But do you know who is Mr. Norris ?? ... ). Chesty Puller, Patton, and Mattis would all claim that Chuck Norris is a pussy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nesher 628 Posted January 22, 2014 one of the greatest pilots the USAF ever had.. the kind legends are made of! S! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Dave 2,322 Posted January 22, 2014 It is his actual ride. It was still on active duty long after he quit flying it and upgraded through the years with slimers etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rexor 1 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) A true legend. Chesty Puller, Patton, and Mattis would all claim that Chuck Norris is a pussy. I really don't think so ........ !!! IMNHO ( InMyNeverHumbleOpinion ), be seven consecutive times world champion of martial arts, the only not-oriental man to achieve 8th Dan of Tae Kwon Do, a real Hollywood Stuntman, .... and a lot more .............. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris ), is superior to what Patton, Olds, Boyd, etc. .... have achieved. Don' forget the legendary "40 seconds" Colonel John Boyd ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Boyd_%28military_strategist%29 ).
