Hi

I met Frank Tallman the year before he died in a tragic flying accident.
He let me get into his Grumman Duck. Unfortunately I could not talk
him into cranking it up and going flying. We had a great chat about
all facets of aviation. He was a true gentleman and his death a great
loss to the flying community.

Cheers...Chris




The story goes that he was flying a B-25 in the Catch 22 filming. He had just
about finished when the director asked Tallman for "just one more pass for
protection". He was killed on that last pass.
