Just saw this story, figured a few of y'all would appreciate it.  It's about the passing of William Overstreet Jr., a notable WWII fighter pilot, on Sunday, December 29th, 2013.

Excellent story.  Thanks!

There is not that much room under the tower. Plenty of room for something slow like a crop duster (they do it under power lines all the time) but to do it in a 109 or P-51 going who knows how fast is quite a feat. Great story!

Great story. Thank you for sharing this. WWII Americans were the best generation EVER!!
