Navy pilot who shot down R MIGs

[Ray Tackett]

In the video, it said USAF on the wing...
Whoever put the video together didn't know their airplanes.

Ah so. Couldn't see the video here; I locked Facebook out of my firewall a while back.

might the F-86 actually be an FJ-2 or FJ-3?

Incredible story, through Korea and Viet Nam.
I did get a kick out of the number of different type airplanes in the video... F9F, F86, maybe a Skyray?... and the Mig 15s.

Given that we're talking about a Navy pilot, might the F-86 actually be an FJ-2 or FJ-3? Similar looking, but quite different, including folding wings.

Watched it again last night.

I assume you have read Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story of American Submarine Espionage

Hi Terry,
Checking my books spreadsheet: Yup, six years ago. Thinking I just might light it up again on the Kindle. Thanks for the reminder.

Submarine operations may well be the ultimate cat -n- mouse game. I blame T. Clancy for my addiction.

Somewhat claustrophobic, I’d likely not be suited for the undersea life but what they do is very fascinating.

Regards,
Tom Charlton

I'll put that on my list.

Fabulous book, that is.

Virtually all of our submarine operations. (Sub novel fan-boy)

In this day of mass media attention and self aggrandizement, it's nice to hear of folks that did things like this without seeking attention.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for sharing that. What a personal burden it must be to contain a story like that. Got to be tons of stories like this. Thinking of countless Special Forces operations out on the end of a very long branch. Virtually all of our submarine operations. (Sub novel fan-boy)
Likely Señor Siciliano has a tale or three held in reserve. Although I loved the one bout printing money<g>.

Regards,
Tom Charlton (whose only classified missions involve one or two bars in a land far away and a time long ago<g>)
