Lieutenant Fred Nelson on the left, hooch-mate and friend, and my
Copilot on this day. On the right is my Flight Mechanic that day, Dee (actually
SSgt. Stephen T. Digirolamo, but can you blame us for calling him "Dee").
Fred was one of those amazing New Yorkers who didn't have a driver's license when he
joined the Air Force, but managed to drive airplanes just fine. Photo taken at
