Formation of Friendship

Al Tucker Jr. and his daughter , Sue Tucker Brander, walk towards the PT-17 Stearman biplane owned by First Sgt. Dave Brown, U.S. Air Force Reserve, before Tucker and Brown took to the air following the Flying Circus Airshow in Bealeton, Va., Jul. 30, 2017. Brander introduced her father to Brown, whose PT-17 is the same model in which Tucker trained at West Point in 1942 before going on to fly P-38 fighter aircraft over Europe with the U.S. Army Air Corps 434th Fighter Squadron during WWII with his friend, then Lt., Robin Olds.
