Daniel Guy McINTOSH

I knew Dan as Grandpa. I saw a side of him that many were not privy to, he was kind at his core and made extreme sacrifices for those he loved, God and country. A hero in more ways than just a pilot. If you knew Dan and have any words, photos, remembrances or even have a similar life path please share and connect. This is how we remember those that gave all. [email protected]

Flew with Dan in Thailand in 1966 The 421st TFS. A great pilot and leader.

I'm probably too late getting into the game here, but just found this site. Around 1974, I was asked if I wanted to handle the check-out of a bird colonel in the T-38 so he would feel more comfortable in an F-5 as he was headed to Korea. A week later a big fellow walked in, stuck out a hand and said "I'm Dan McIntosh; I hear we're going to fly together".
What an amazing fellow! Yes, a highly regarded fighter pilot, but so warm and humble at the same time. We had to fly a navigation...

Sorry Joe Lee, but no one took credit. Here is the obituary page:
. I imagine you can post an open thank you there.

Cheers,

Lurch,
So glad you are still clever enough to keep the Obit as written. I was grinning the whole way through. If you can, thank the author (one of the daughters?) for me?? What a great tribute to an American Hero!!
Godspeed Colonel.

Dan was a great fighter pilot and leader. I had the good fortune to fly the F-105 with him as a young Lt. His guidance helped me get through a tough combat tour.

Sincerest condolences to Danielle. Thud pilots were some of the bravest flyers I ever had the pleasure to meet. I did not know your Dad personally, but through the stories related by Bob, I understand why you all loved and revered him. God bless you for your loss. Frank Tantalo
