AVIATION QUOTES

23^rd Apr, 2024

The wingman is absolutely indispensable. I look after the wingman. The wingman looks after me. It's another set of eyes protecting you. That's the defensive part. Offensively, it gives you a lot more firepower. We work together. We fight together. The wingman knows what his responsibilities are, and knows what mine are. Wars are not won by individuals. They're won by teams. — Lt. Col. Francis S. 'Gabby' Gabreski Quote, USAF, 28 victories in WW II and 6.5 MiGs over Korea
