I was there.

Found the promised pictures.

Raleigh con was in 2000. Guests of honor - Francis "Gabby" Gabreski, Franz Stiegler and Charlie Brown (in picture as listed)

(Image removed from quote.)

They told the story to auditorium of 300+ virtual pilots

(Image removed from quote.)

Here they are with their wives - probably during Gabby's speech. He sure told us we were one screwed up generation But stories after that made 20 minutes of preaching worth it.

And here is Gabby, who as a proper roman catholic needed to get to proper roman catholic mass on sunday. Since our squadron was hosting him, we drove around NC for quite a while looking for one We did succeed in the end.

And our squadron with our guest Gabby.

I can't believe that was 15 years ago...

Nice - I was there and was able to steal a few moments from Gabby for a short conversation

Thanks for sharing fd ski! 

I understand why Gabreski was the guest of honor after I saw your squadron's polo shirts.

They were going to supposedly make this into a movie. Wonder what happened
