I used to know the names of all of these flight members, but no longer. It was too long ago. The picture with the canopy, I don't remember any of their names. In the second picture, that's Brian Bauries standing to my right and me sitting. I don't remember the other guy.
Our flight commander for the first six weeks was a prior service Air Force enlisted man, then a Captain. We were told to evaluate our other flight members by saying one positive and one negative thing about each one of us. When I was called into his office to hear what all of the others had written about me, each one had said something different as to a positive quality. He was startled and told me that he had never had that happen before. Usually, most of the members of a flight would say some of the same positive things, but never each one choosing a different quality.
I do recall that one flight member, and I suspect David Hunn, but I could be wrong, picked something negative as a positive quality, as well. His negative choice was really negative: "apple polisher and boot licker." Nice. The flight commander said he did not see those qualities in me at all.
