Just found this story about a Lancaster pilot who has passed away. It's quite a tale.

I saw the title of this thread, and though "Oh, NO! Not the former Vice President!". Then I realized that my CRS had got the best of me, and it was Donald Cheney, not Dick Cheney. Oops?

Don't get old, Gents. The outcome is horrific.
