Great story! The F9F Panther is my favourite Korean War jet.

Great story, Bill! Thank you for posting the link. Lt. Royce Williams deserves a medal for that.

That was my thought too when I read it -- but instead he couldn't even talk about it! Makes one wonder what other amazing military feats we never heard about due to diplomatic reasons :confused:

I thought that the U.S. Government had a 'classified' category of awards for people on secret operations.
