Default A Good Pilot Could Use a Card From YOU!

Jack Broughton, ex lead of the Thunderbirds and well known aviation writer
is recuperating from a heart attack. He is in a hospital in New York. The
prognosis I've been given is good.
I have kept the Thunderbird organization in the loop on this, and I'm
posting it here in the clear in the hope that many of you out there will
take the time to send him a card. He's been through a rough time.
When you do, you may identify yourselves as a friend of the Fighter Pilots
Fellowship, and FWIW, you may consider yourselves a friend of mine as well.
Thank you

The address is as follows;

Col. Jack Broughton
Helen Hayes Hospital
Route 9W, West Haverstraw, NY 10993

I'll drop him a card Dudley. He'll be in my prayers.

Col. Jack Broughton is the author of several books: "Thud Ridge" and
"Going Downtown, the War against Hanoi". Broughton was a flight
leader, flying the F-105 Thunderchief, sometimes called the "Thud".

These are must read books, I've read few books about combat flying in
Vietnam or anywhere that were written as well.

Just as Jon mentioned, I'll also get a card to him in the mail and keep him
in my thoughts & prayers.

Thanks for letting us know. I knew him in ADC days when he was at Minot
and I was at Richards-Gebaur. I'll get the card off tomorrow.
