Retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Robin Olds, a World War II ace fighter pilot who later commanded an Air Force wing that shot down seven Communist MIGs over North Vietnam in the biggest air battle of the Vietnam War, has died. He was 84.

I never met him but knew many who did. He is an Air Force legend. God rest his soul.

I just saw him on TV the other day on a show called "Dogfights" I think. I believe it was on the History Channel, and they do a real good job with computer graphics re-creating the dogfights of famous fighter-pilots.

He was something else..... salute
