Group picture of the F-100 pilots of the 90th Tac Fighter Squadron, 3rd Wing, Bien Hoa AB RVN. Internet photo. I was with the 90th from January 1966 to January 1967.
Quote from Roc Trout:
"Irving originally had belonged to another pilot, name of Dick Hicks, who died in a night field carrier landing practice accident and I more or less inherited him. The parachute riggers had cluged up a khaki jacket and helmet and goggles for Irving and he actually flew at least once in the F7F radar operator's seat and a number of times with me (without the helmet and goggles) while I was instructing night intercept techniques in the Twin Beech SNB-3N . Liked to sleep on the life raft, apparently not interested in the finer point of the technology. We used to deliberately run our tanks dry before switching to a fresh one so we always knew where the fuel was. When the engine would cough he suddenly became wide awake and wanted to be right in my lap. Not everybodythought much of that. Soon as the engines resumed normal operation he would go back to sleep.
