I screwed up again (

Only ONCE!!!! Hell, I do that all the time!! :-))

Went back in my files and movie was "Student Pilot" not "Jet Pilot"
which was not a very good action film either even with 'names' in it.

"Student Pilot" was filmed at Williams AFB (Willie Field), the Jet
School, in 1951. Aircraft were T-33A and F-80B. Principals I had never
heard of prior and never heard of after. It wasn't a "B' movie, more
like a 'C' or 'D' and flying was shot in a week. Had more stilted
lovey dovey than tiger training.

My records show I also flew in some of the formation parts of film
besides the on ground filming.

Awe well, what is past is past. Didn't want my name associated with it
then and not trying to get in the credits now.

Willie Air Patch was really something back then eh BJ? Was Bob Scott the CO
out there when you were there? He is a charter member of the old IFPF, and
one of the nicest guys I've ever known. I believe Bob was CO at Willie in
50. I guess you knew the Pattillo twins, Dick Catledge and the guys as well.
I remember you asking me about Creech!! I think they came in a bit later in
53 at Luke.
Quite a time those days. People and times to remember for sure.
I don't know if you remember Dave McAllister and Bill Spruance's accident in
the T-Bird. That was around that time.
God, I'm wandering all around here :-))
