I have recently discovered how famous some of my girlfriends family is...

I got to meet J.K. Havener, he is my girlfriend's great uncle.
He was aboard the Marauder that had to crash-land at Manston. (not the only one that had to do so but it's rather famous here)

and if memory serves me right he also flew in Vietnam. His was one of the first bombers in Operation Rolling Thunder (if I got my operations right)

very touching GR, It must have been like a shovel to the forehead after he said B-17's
