William Smith 31st Fighter Group

Thu Apr 09, 2020 4:28 pm

Will Smith recently joined the P-51 Facebook Group. I dug up some photos of him from his day flying with Chuck back in 2009...I think...CRS. He flew 50 missions with the 31st Fighter Group. The Black and White shot came from Jack Cook and my "now" photo on Betty. Great guy and still going Strong

Thanks Andy, all is well, although I will say it's been a surreal few months. Here is a photo of General Mike Rogers in Betty. Mike flew the Mustang "Beantown Banshee" in the 354th. He passed not long after this photo was taken. He could still fly and did everything but the take off and the landing, and really liked doing rolls. Priceless moments.
