My dad is a retired US Navy Captain, who flew AD-6 Skyraiders off the USS Hornet, and was later commander of an S2F squadron based out of Glenview NAS. He got involved as a volunteer pilot at Planes of Fame air museum in Flying Cloud, MN before it all moved to CA, and flew pretty much everything there from their Hellcat and Bearcat to (his favorite) the Corsair.
I'm scheduled to work on June 2nd, but I might try and get him to the event if possible?
MPsince1984,
When you next see your dad thank him for his serrvice. His courage, sacrifice and devotion enable the rest of us to enjoy the freedoms and liberties of this great country. I am also a retired Naval Aviator and flew the S-2 like your dad. Our next raffle is in Sept and it will be a T-6 Texan.
On the morning of the 9th our totals are $5330 with 37 donors buying 903 chances.
Capt Denny
USN Ret.
