Warbird Information Exchange

Last night we had the honor of talking with Neil Hansen of Air America. He flew DC-6's and then C-123's. If you are at all interestedin the subject, I urge you to listen to the show replay at warbirdradio.com

It is a very educational talk we had. Very funny all the way up to the end. At the end of the show Neil tells a story that had us all choked up a bit. It is the reason why the men that gave their lives in Air America deserve to be remembered.

Hello,
The story Neil told at the end of the interview was about my father, Bill Pruner. I must say I was very touched that he told the story with such heartfelt emotion so many years after it happened....January 1966. Thank you, Warbird Radio, for seeking out one of the Air America flyboys to tell some of their amazing stories. They are indeed a very special group! And thank you, Neil Hansen, for keeping the memory of my beloved Daddy alive.

Diane I will send you a private message. I can tell you this, there wasn't a dry eye in the house when Neil told that story. The service of the Air America crews needs to be remembered!

Perhaps an Air America Memorial or memorial bench at the NMUSAF would be appropriate?
