The Story Behind the Story
Part 2 - Yankee Air Pirate 2 Missions
by John "zerocinco" Shelton and Chuck "PFunk" Bellows

This begins a series of weekly reports that are a continuation of the original "The Story Behind the Story" first published in May 2009.

Anyone who follows the Yankee Air Pirate 2 series knows that the storylines are based on real air combat events during the Vietnam conflict. But in each mission there is a "story behind the story". We will be asking YAP2 founder John "zerocinco" Shelton his favorite missions and ask him to tell us the best "behind the scenes" stories from various YAP2 Mission Sets. Then "PFunk" or "20mm" will fly the mission and tell us about their experience.

Great article! I loved the description of the interview with Dick Rutan. He is an amazing aviator. I've read "Bury Us Upside Down", it's a great book. Those guys must have needed an ordnance truck to cart their cohones around!
