"My Enemy, My Friend", signed copies available online
I've just finished reading "My Enemy, My Friend" by Brig. Gen. Dan Cherry. I was amazed at how great a book it is. Although it is only 6 1/4" x 6 1/4", slightly bigger than a cd jewel case, it is by no means small in it's content. It is a story about Dan Cherry and his shooting down of a MIG -21 over Viet Nam on April 6, 1972. But it is much more than that. It includes a brief history of his military history and then in great depth tells of the day when he shot the MIG down.

Then it tells a short story of how he found the actual plane, tail number 66-7550, in worn down condition in Enon, Ohio, about twenty miles from Dayton, Ohio. It goes on to tell about how the plane was moved to Bowling Green, Kentucky, and how it was restored to its present pristine condition.
What more could a person want in life? Well, someone came up with the idea of finding the very person Gen. Cherry shot down. The story continues with the finding of and getting the two combatants to finally meet face to face thirty six years after the memorable event. The book contains a great deal of pictures and illustrations. Although the book is fairly short, it is well worth the twenty dollars that it costs as General Cherry has autographed each and every one of those for the Society. Everyone knows that a signed first edition of any book is worth way more than that. I would recommend this book to any Phantom Phreak. I have nineteen of them left and I am certain that once they get in Smoke Trails or our home page they will go very quickly. Clark Creber

PhanCon 08
PhanCon 2008 was outstanding!! Much to our pleasure and appreciation, the 355th Fighter Wing and the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group rolled out the red carpet for us over a two day span, we could not have anticipated more.	Photo : Ned Harris
One of the highlights for those in attendance was the Phantom functional check flight that took place during our visit. To say the jet looked, smelled, and sounded good is an understatement. And the ramp full of flight ready Phantoms was certainly a welcome sight as well. Watch for a full PhanCon debrief in Smoke Trails V17/4.
