Not sure what to say?

MY HUSBAND AND I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF MEETING GENERAL ROBIN OLDS AT AN AVIATION EVENT IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA MANY YEARS AGO.
MY HUSBAND ALSO A PILOT.

In loving memory of a great Airman,may you fly at peace with Angels.

Just read General Olds biography, "Fighter Pilot"...awesome read! Guts and balls of steel did this man have.

Robin was a great man. He flew with my dad in Europe during WW II. I had the pleasure meeting him many times with my dad. He was a real inspiration. My wife and I also enjoyed skiing with him at Steamboat. He was in his 70's at the time. He was a true patriot and a rare man.

I am saddened greatly at the news of General Olds's death, he was a man's man who will be sorely missed by those that knew him and those of us who only knew of him. A true warrior, I salute you General Olds. God's Speed.
