My Dad (RIP) met Pappy Boyington at an airshow at Glenview Naval Air Station in the ‘80’s. Boyington was his hero. My Dad, a Navy pilot, was transitioning into the Corsair from the trainers in Texas, getting ready for the invasion of Japan. They told him that the odds of surviving the invasion as a pilot were not good. Then Harry dropped the bomb. My Dad told him he was his hero, and Pappy put his arm around my Dad for a pic and told my Dad ‘ You’re the hero’. What a class act. My Dad always said he wanted to get into the Corsair in bad way. What an aircraft!

When it made its initial low-level pass, for a brief instant I was taken back in time to when I was a kid and would watch Black Sheep Squadron on Saturday mornings with Robert Conrad as Pappy Boyington. The theme music was in my head. It was a beautiful bird to watch then, and just as magnificent, or maybe even more so, now. There's one hanging from the ceiling in the Museum of the Marine Corp at Quantico. You don't appreciate its size until you lay eyes on it. Great, great bird.

He also mentioned something about the real Pappy did not care to much for Robert Conrad. We would basically chat every now and then. This would be around the same time he was filming Road House.

Something just popped in my head that Red said. Black Sheep was a production he called SPAM CAN production. About 80% of Black Sheep was canned footage. Not just the old aerial combat footage but take offs, landings, when something on a plane blows up, the bullet hits. Ever notice that sometimes a scene shows sun up or sunset and all of the sudden it's high noon in the next frame. Yep! All canned footage. I think it was Red that got me on the habit of spotting planes in a TV show or movie and it's an entirely different aircraft. Still goes on to this day. For example, World War Z, Brad Pitt goes from flying on a C-130 to the AN-12 Cub. It switches throughout the entire movie. I keep wondering if they intend it as a joke or they really think we are that stupid not to notice.

@@johnklatt3522 Now this did not come from Red but another conversation I had who knew about the actual guns firing. These scenes were canned as well and was nothing more than propane firing from a tube on mocked up wing or in the zeroes case a mock up cockpit with the actor inside. Propane through a tube. I did wonder if there was actual feed back to the stick when firing the guns. I could understand with the Zeroes because 2 of the machine guns were actually right in front of the pilots face. The guns and/or cannons were way out on the wing. Why would the stick shake?
