I was pleased to see that UW did eventually get a memorial in place for their medal of honor winners, which included Bruce Crandall. I met Crandall a couple years ago,when he wandered into our building looking for a copier.
You would remember Crandall by his callsign "SNAKE" from the battle for the Ia Drang, memorialized in the movie "We were Soldiers Once, and Young".
Basic Flying Rules: "Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there."
