Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Corkey Fornof, Bond Movie Stunt Pilot, at SWF Convention

I'm not remembering correctly.  Is this the group of Naval Pilots - that were enlisted men?  They were given a commission - but, later reverted back to enlisted status. (?) 

 

I remember flying with one when I was an enlisted aircrewman in VU-5 ('52-'54)  Ironaically, his last name was similar  to - or the same as mine. (?)  He and his crew were killed - when for some reason - they got off center - on a GCA approach into Itazuki, AFB, Japan.  I was supposed to be on that crew - but, got kicked off - for not being a '4.0' sailor. 

 

 

There is a Jig Dog from VU-5 - on the ramp at the Penscola naval Air Museum.  Someday, I'm going up there - and climb back up into it - one last time.  Bob McDonagh www.navlairestates.com
