Post by: Shuffler on January 23, 2009, 04:08:31 PM: I believe that may be who it was flying with us. Dan seemed to know him pretty well. He seemed a gentleman through and through. We all had alot of fun. Was quite some time a go.

Post by: Larry on January 23, 2009, 05:09:28 PM: "Vilkas" is a WWII vet. IIRC he was around 14-15 at that time so he's 80ish.

Post by: Lye-El on January 23, 2009, 05:16:34 PM: Vilkas is like 78.......

I hate to be the cynic here, but I don't buy the "Wildcat was at Midway, over" story without some proof. Too many "I own a B-17" boasts or "I'm a Medal of Honor winner" stories on the intardnet.

My apologies if I'm mistaken. At the very least, I want to hear some stories.

Post by: airbumba on January 24, 2009, 02:25:02 AM: ..OK Filth, nice cover story, we know it's u ur talking about.

Because there's no way an 80 year old PILOT could shoot as poorly as you, (and me).

AND, if such a man existed, me and you will split the cost of buying such a man dinner....email me, I'll pay a lunch be-twixed ya.
