2:23   |   He flew almost every day but, thankfully, the missions were fairly short. There were day and night missions and everyone rotated through the schedule. Tom Fleming was a FAC based in Thailand and that was fortunate for him when it came to the living conditions.

    From the beginning, Tom Fleming wanted to be a fighter pilot. He settled for a tour as a forward air controller in Vietnam and, after that, his quest for fighters continued as he embarked on a lengthy Air Force career. That career took him to Turkey, Germany, many stateside bases and the Pentagon, but it was Hawaii that was most satisfactory.
