There were a pair of civilian Zippers flying the Tullahoma show, too,
and in a way, I almost wish they hadn't, because they've ruined
airshows for me for good (at least until the Raptor starts flying
them). I still can barely believe the howl those things made.
One of those Zipper pilots was Wolfgang Czaia, one of the finest airmen I've
known. He was a GAF Fighter Wing commander and rode F-84s on up to current
things - he is a graduate of the USAF TPS school and is an active AA 747
Captain. His resume must read like a modern "history of flight" saga. Cool
guy - cool as they come.
