You'll have to scroll down on the link. I was fortunate enough to meet Col. DeBellevue when he was at Robins. Not every day you get to meet a Vietnam combat ace. Oh, if anyone wants an autographed (by me) copy of the paper, let me know!!!

Ahhhh, serious. Ok, washout means the folks that didn't make it. If the class started with 100 and ended up with 25 passing then there were 75 washouts.

Didn't ask him what happened, but either way, he was the dude doing the shooting backed up by a helluva pilot. You can do a search that tells more of the story.

Phantom over Vietnam is a great book about flying the F4 over there.
