Air Force Legend General Robin Olds Passes
 
On June 14,Retired USAF General Robin Olds passed away,one month shy of his 85th birthday.

A true legend,General Olds shot down 13 enemy planes in the European Theatre of Operations,and became a Triple Ace 20 years later in the skies over Vietnam,with 4 MiG kills.Olds led the famous Operation Bolo,recently featured on the History Channel's "Dogfights" series.Bolo was an ambush that became the USAF's most successful single day against the enemy's MiGs.

After a long and successful career,General Olds retired to Steamboat Springs,CO,where he passed peacefully,surrounded by family and friends.

Godspeed,General Olds.There will never be another like you,sir.
