My dad served in the Air Force. When I was growing up, we would stay up late watching the old war movies. He would tell me about the planes in those old movies. He would laugh at the planes used for Japanese Zeroes. He'd say those are just trainers and nothing like the real ones. While he never saw combat in WWII, he still knew about the planes and I loved listening to him talk about them.
Many years later, besides being father & daughter, we became best friends. I had gone to Gosport, Indiana to visit and he started talking about his days in the Air Force. His assignment was to ferry P-51's from the west coast to the east coast. He said he would always fly over Gosport. If he spotted a farmer out in the fields he would dive low and "buzz" the farmer.
Favorite story - We were just chatting one day and he remarked about how he held the speed record for Main Street which runs right through downtown Gosport. He laughed, looked at me and winked. Then he said I was nine feet off the ground in a P51 Mustang!" Too Cool!
