What WW2 plane broke the sound barrier?
"Matt Barrow" wrote in message ... "Dudley Henriques" wrote in message news  .............and we've just lost one of the best. Chris Patterakis died on May 9th. I'm sure many of you wouldn't know his name, as he was one of the "quiet" guys out here. Chris led the Thunderbirds among his many other major achievements; was one of the finest pilots, and one of the finest guys ever to wear the uniform. On his tombstone it should read, "He retired a Major because he believed in the truth." Care to elaborate on that last part? I'm sorry. As much as I'd like to I can't. Dudley Henriques
