I learned last night that "Sandy" Uber, with whom I flew as a Tonto and a Mike FAC died recently. He's represented faithfully with another name in my books, but the real guy was a quiet, funny man and a very brave and competent FAC - the latter saying more about him than most people will ever know.

Far left seated, Sandy. Standing is "Flip" Defillipi, and far right, myself. In the background is Dick the Drunk, my roommate. Note the "sanitized" tiger stripe camo. We flew with no name, rank, unit, or national ID.

Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.
