Used to fuel his fleet of aircraft down at the Las Cruces Airport when I was in college. Off the top of my head I remember a P51, T6, P63 (one of 2 flying), a Zero, and an F86.
Nicest billionaire I've ever met. And the only one I guess.
We went to a Van's Air-Force fly-in at Las Cruces a number of years ago. They held the dinner in Borman's hangar. Next day, as we were taxiing for departure, we passed him holding short of the taxiway in his P51. He saluted me as we passed by...wow. Saluted back obviously! NFAtrustguy was taxiing out with us for flight back to FNL. Good times.Quote:
