Title: Interviews with Flying Tigers (video)
Post by: Golfer on February 27, 2006, 05:01:40 AM: More like candid discussion. I finally got off the wallet and got a firewire card and cable for my digital video camera. I've got an hour or so of video of the Flying Tigers Reunion I attended in 2001 (courtesy of my neighbor who's father is the shorter of the two gentlemen in the video) and shook hands from Tex Hill to the then current CO of the still active squadron flying A-10's. "PJ" Johnston (Johnson?) who was awarded the DFC in Desert Storm for flying a mission in excess of 8 hours in support of a SAR op to recover an F-14 crew.

Thought you might light the candid nature of the conversation as they talk about airplanes and combat.

Correct. I think April of 2001. I was in high school at the time but don't remember the date.
