Colorado Springs, Co.
Hosted by William J. Beck
Our speaker at the Colorado Springs reunion was Bob Brush from Nevada, a former test pilot for Douglas, flying the A-20 and some of the early Douglas aircraft. He would not let us pay his airfare, but we were able to provide a room and meals. This is picture is of Betty and me taking him to the Colorado Springs airport. I saw him on the aircraft, I believe it was Continental, and he was in coach. So, I stepped in the cockpit to tell the crew what a distinguished guest they had on board and I was sure he would appreciate a ride in First Class. Turned out the copilot was 90th squadron in Korea. He said it would be the Captain's decision. I received a call from Bob several days later and he said he rode First Class to Reno.
