This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Welcome home Lieutenant, and thank you for your service.

I referenced Alan C. Carey's superb, Leatherneck Bombers: Marine Corps PBJ Mitchell Squadrons in World War II, to find that Vincent was with VMB-423 and is actually listed as a Technical Sergeant. Looks like they were flying BuNo35087, a PBJ-1D on an operational (non-combat) mission.
Welcome home indeed. I wish I'd been the Captain of that AA MD-80 that day. As the son of a PBJ pilot, it would have been a unique honor.

Craig,
Did you notice what the airport fire trucks did for that MD-80 on arrival and taxi? They've been doing the water cannons over the airplanes each time the body of a service member comes home to Tulsa. There have been too many of those lately.
