Last Fighter Pilot Of WW11

[Iowa 409 Guy]

Iowa Boy

The Last Fighter Pilot of WWII who flew the last mission .
Take five minutes to watch this video interview. It takes place on Iwo Jima.

Listen carefully to what he says and how he says it. You won't regret a second of it.
Ask yourself, how many of the few surviving WWII veterans kept
themselves and their uniform in such good condition for over 70
years and can still proudly wear it?
Notice his superb delivery, no teleprompter, no script -- Just a
91-year-old fighter pilot representing the greatest generation at
home and abroad who won WWII.
He has some surprises and a great take on the philosophy of life.

You would like the Iowa Military Aviation Heritage Museum I'm a member of in Ankeny Iowa at the Airport. Great bunch of guys that spend there time restoring old war birds and have a museum of all kinds of Iowa heros.

Do Schilberg's have anything to do with that one? I believe they have one west of Des Moines somewhere?? Ankeny. Is that where I went to a big model plane air show?

 

[chevy man]

Thanks for that Dave ! Great video. I cant begin to express how much respect I have for this man and for ALL the Heros that have given the people of this great country the freedom we enjoy today !!

It is a great video, and I can relate to it, since my father in law, was also in the Army Air Force. I did a Google search for more information on Jerry, and learned that he passed away December 21, 2017. To learn more about Jerry, follow this link...

Yep, Used to have a huge show right on the Ankeny airport air-field but they paved a crosswind landing strip so the RC planes no longer fly there. To bad because everyone of the those huge birds on the ceiling of the hanger have flown. We do host a yearly car show and race down the run way but its more for the Corvette's to run cones. I would be open to the idea of doing some no prep drag racing there. Big project. I am working on an air show coming up this summer which is hard enough to pull off.

I visited the Hamm Cemetery in Luxembourg in 2011 when I was shooting over there. Patton is buried there with thousands of brave soldiers. There was low fog covering the cemetery when we arrived. It was a very moving experience I will never forget. Young soldiers killed never able to experience the joys of growing old.

Just think of all the Jerry Yellin's that fought and gave their lives to keep this country free. They would roll over in their graves if they could see some things going on today.

You're absolutely right Dave a million times. Our solders through time paid one hell of a price for our freedoms just to have the forces that be make this country go out like this. There was a time when if the Dems would have come up with this cockamamie plan of theirs and tried to jam it down our throats I think the multitudes would have voted them out of office.

Looking at some old posts and came across this one it brought a tear to my eye, Thanks Dave for posting that they were the greatest generation!!!!

 

[Barry Taylor]

That was a very heart warming and moving video. 91 and he’s still fit and sharp as a tack!! Thanks Dave!

I have a next door neighbor who is 96 years old. Was an Army Ranger who landed on Normandy Beach. He did not say too much about the war, but I visit with him and he began telling me of some of the battles he fought in. Battle of the Bulge and many more. My brother was killed in the battle for the Hedgerows July 14th, 1944 at the age of 22. He is buried in the American Cemetery in France, overlooking Omaha Beach . I too have strong feelings about the state of our country today. They all saved the world and now we are giving up all of our freedoms to our own leaders. I keep asking myself, "Where are all of those Dems, who claim to be soo smart" When are they going to stop this clown who is taking orders from some unkown person (s).
