Who Promised You Tomorrow

Summary

As I raised the handles on the ejection seat and the jet passed 450 knots, I knew this was going to hurt! Ride along in the adventures I experienced flying high performance aircraft. Lots of laughs and tears are part of the job. Combat, test flying, and, as the title implies, high risk. A Silver Star recipient, much of my OV-10 combat time was in Laos. Started with the F-100 in Europe and finished my career as test director to make the F-100 a target.
