Could I pass on a few corrections... It was "Pappy Boyington" Commander of the Black Sheep during W.W.II I have some time logged flying with him as a young Civil Air Patrol cadet.. We is from Seattle, WA and his grand daughter is a member of Civil air Patrol today... I am buddys with his sons, ex-wife, also a Member of Civil Air Patrol.. I also have some time flying aerobatics with R.A. Bob Hoover, if you want to meet a hero bump into him some time.. Civil Air Patrol was good for me "back in the day".... it is COMPLETELY a different program now. Yes I am still a member Ron Burke ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elaine Rosa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "coupers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2001 12:29 PM Subject: [COUPERS] 308th T.C.
