King regales us with his F-86 story of trying to find out what the "base altitude" (classified) was from his wingman after he had inherited the lead of the flight.   After intense prodding his wingman, reluctant to spill it out on the airways, keyed the mike and whispered it to him.

NOTE: Pappy Baker crashed our social but being the perennial Bar Stooler he is we let it slide.  He was sporting a shirt with Command Bar Stool Association on it that lead me to do a bit of Google searching.  The results tell me about as much as I need to know.  If you Google "Command Bar Stool Association" you get exactly one entry, a short obit from the Las Vegas Review.  I captured the entry, which you can view by clicking the thumbnail.

For all this guy did in his life including a flying career diving into the throes of death in armed conflict and , no doubt, numerous travels, homes, assignments, events, professional accomplishments and personal relationships,  he is remembered by one association.  Cause of death?  My money is on cirrhosis of the liver.
