George Peppard is my 'doppelganger'. Would have liked to switch places with him when he was with Ursala Andress.. EDIT..I watched that as a kid, George Peppard (A Team) was in it. I need to watch it again. I think that was my first initiation into fighter pilots & babes (Ursula Andress)!
Dave - IIRC he was checked out in both B-36 and B-47. I also seem to recall that he may have made a couple of trips along the Trail as an observer in the B-52.Jimmy Stewart was great in Strategic Air Command, especially since he was a former B-24 pilot and knew the ropes up in the driver's seat.
