The History Channel has a show on called "DOGFIGHTS". Last night I just happened to be watching and as I tune in I see being interviewed two former USAirways pilots that I use to fly with. Matt Connely and Steve Shoemaker both original PSA types.
The show chronicled the events over North Vietnam in May 1972. The US Navy was involved in the largest dogfight since WWll. The computer generated images and the narrative from Matt and Steve really bring home what it was like to be there.
Matt ended the day with two Migs shot down and the Navy Cross. Steve shot down one Mig and went on to be a US Navy Blue Angel. Both these guys were super cool to fly with and I'm sure they are enjoying retirement.
The show will repeat on Friday December 14 on" the History Channel" at 10:00 and 16:00EST.
Enjoy
