I first met Col Kittenger during a job interview towing banners for Rosie O’grady’s flying circus in Orlando. The interview consisted of a banner pickup, tow over Disney and drop back at Orlando Exec then landing. I had 3 seasons towing in Scouts but never flown a Stearman much less a 450. But my Dads adage “they all fly like cubs” was true, sorta It went very well and he offered me the job but later talked me out of it, instead encouraging me to follow my dream of flying fighters. I took his sage advice to heart.
A truly great American legend and aviation pioneer has left us, prayers for his family.
