I just received word that former "Thunderdelfin" Don Goodin (Lt Col USAF Ret.) passed away a few days ago at is home in Kentucky. Don was a true friend and mentor to me and I am very grateful I had the opportunity to crew and maintain his aircraft. Don was an excellent pilot from the Vietnam War era and was a highly decorated AT-37 pilot during that conflict. I was making plans to visit Don upon hearing word of his passing.
With tears in my eyes and a heavy heart - "Blue Skies and Tailwinds always old friend, give my regards to Bob when you see him."
