Skill Or Heridity

[lilsquid]

Some know how i fly in aces high. Today i went throught the CAF airchives and discovered i am the great great grandson to 2 twins who were the number 2 and # 3 men in the original Thunderbirds Squadron flying in the late 1940's. the first plane they used was the p-47 Which was  my favorite plane and i could do a lot in. Then moved on the p-80's and so on to the jets they fly today. So I'm asking do you think I'm skilled or have i inherited the genes of 2 early genoration Pattillo's who happen to be combat pilots out of WWII.

Note: if u do not think I'm telling the truth look up thunderbirds original members there will be twins who last names are Pattillo. My last name is pattillo and we traced in the CAF (Commemorative Air Force) archives all the way to members in my family.

Yes we know of Bill and Buck but the Tbirds were formed in 1953 and the first birds were F-80 then moved to the f-86. Besides, Genetics have nothing to do with it

I disagree. The gene pool is a very delicate thing. Your DNA has traces to the first man. It is very possible that you can inherit genes from your great great relatives. You  See genes get carried from genoration to genoration.You dont know it but you will allways have a connection in your gene pool to your ancestors. It is very possible that i inherited genes from them.

Apparently, you didn't inherit spelling genes from generations past.

...
were pilots we not teachers dot and nope!

My grandfather flew C-141's and KC-97s, and O-2's in the 'Nam era, but he was also a great AH pilot back in '67. I guess the genes didn't get passed down though.

The first Thunderbirds show was in 1953 flying the F-86G Thunderjet, the Thunderbirds never flew P-47's.  Your relatives were picked because of the time they spent flying with the Sky Blazers in Europe in the late '40s flying P-80Bs.  On a side note, your relatives also didn't fly the P-47s as both flew P-51s during the war with the 8th AF's 352nd Fighter Group and then P-80s after the war with the 36th Wing.

It's cool that you have such relatives in your family tree but not to be mean or anything but I think it's safe to say that the only 'gene' you inherited from them was a love of aviation.  


ack-ack

 First off this would be better in the Oclub but by me saying that I broke a rule....sry Skuz!


 Secondly you may have the Genes of your relatives but that in no way means you have the hours of training that they went through,So I say it must be skill on your part,that's the only explanation,because as far as I know no human has the instinct to fly.........

Get a free account on somewhere like Photobucket, you'll be able to upload photos to there, then use the link they give you in here.

You can, if you click the photo icon when typing a message (second row of icons, below the bold button) you'll get brackets [img ] [ /img], insert the URL between those brackets.  Most sites (including photobucket) will give you that code directly.  

It shows up as a code in the text box but will show up as a picture in the BBS.

Things like hand eye coordination, good reflexes, and timing are the most important 'talents' needed to be uber at this game.

Bill and Buck. Bill is the one in the pilots seat of the P-47


Theses are them before they died be reunited wiht the p-51' they flew after they started in the p-47's

I Apologize Ack-Ack- They started in 47's then were recalled to the 51 then to p-80's

Didn't see your modify about the second pic.

Is that first one a 47?  The canopy looks like a 51, but I'm not sure.
