Hi, Joe-
What a fine tribute to such an outstanding gentleman as the General. In my mind he defines the terms loyal and brave, his service will always be remembered as exemplary.
He was a passenger on one of my flights out of DFW, as I recall he was still an imposing figure with his trademark “stache.” The First Officer knew quite a lot of his military history, he said Olds was regarded with the utmost respect by his junior pilots. One description was that he needed a large sling in his shorts, to keep his huge _alls from dragging as he walked.
Your build of the model of his airplane is to your usual standards, just as good as it gets. Thanks for the post and photos.

Thanks Patrick. Certainly one of my heros, Bud Anderson as well. Very cool you got to meet him. Great analogy as this was a real man. It’s my understanding that his subordinates grew mustaches as well to show their respect. He was eventually ordered to shave it off…
