Hello,
Sorry for the last minute notice but I wanted to let you know that the WWII Warbird group is having a meeting tonight, Wednesday evening, May 20th, at the Stockton Field Aviation Museum at 7pm.
From the WWII Warbird Group President, John Schippers:
Our next meeting will be Wednesday May 20 at 7 PM at Stockton Field Aviation Museum, 7432 CE Dixon St, Stockton Metro Airport, Stockton, CA.
Our speaker will be Colonel Clarence ' Bud' Anderson, USAF (Ret.) WW II P-51 fighter pilot with 16 aerial victories. Bud enlisted in the Army Air Corps in January 1942 a month after Pearl Harbor. A year before he was at Sacramento City College and in the Civilian Pilot Training Program. After flight school he was assigned states side to a training unit flying P-39 Ariacobras. He first flew the P-51 Mustang in England, assigned to the 357th Fighter Group in the 8th AF. About a year later he was becoming a triple Ace flying "OLD CROW" on two combat tours. He flew 116 missions and never had to abort which he attributes to the quality of the P-51 and to his outstanding ground crews. Bud stayed in the AF and retired after 30 years as a full Colonel. During this time he flew as a test pilot, commanded an F-86 squadron in Korea and a wing of F-105’s on Okinawa and at age 48 flew 25 missions as a wing Commander in Thailand during the Vietnam War. In the annals of flying Bud ranks witch the best and the reputation as a great human being. Come out Wednesday and bring a friend.
Our Warbird Group meetings are held at the Stockton Field Aviation Museum 7432 CE Dixon St., Stockton Metro Airport, on the third Wednesday of each odd month at 7 PM. This means that the meetings are in January, March, May etc on the third Wednesday. Please join us as there is no admission charge.
