AOPA Pilot Magazine - January 2022 - 66

Most of the young men who signed up were " farm boys, "
Reither said. " They were clever guys, but most were just high
school graduates....But everyone wanted to fly that jet, to go
supersonic. "
The F-100 was tricky to fly. The pitch angle made it seem like
you had a rocket at your back and the tail was too small, Reither
said. " They always put a too-small tail on the prototypes, " he said.
But the Air Force built 171 of those test models, and 128 crashed.
" The boys just came off the farm and flew supersonic. It was like
being the quarterback on the football team. They couldn't write
a good sentence, but if they took you, they'd train you. "
Last flight
The Super Sabre Society was formed in 2006 to preserve the memory
of the men who flew the Hun in Vietnam. Cutshall, purchased
63948, the F-100F, in 1996 with the help of his Crew Chief Paul
Swick and Engine Technician Jim " Prez " Prezbindowski, both
who have many years of experience with the Hun. Cutshall initially
paid $250,000 for the F-100, then " after two years and
$700,000, old 948 looked and performed as if it was just rolled
out of the factory, " Cutshall said. Swick and Prezbindowski, along
with their friends from the 122nd Fighter Wing, worked many
hours restoring the aircraft. For the past 25 years, Cutshall and
crew have shown off the airplane at airshows around the country
and offered rides to former pilots and crew of the Hun (see " One
More Time, " November 2016 AOPA Pilot).
Reither says Cutshall has said each year this would be the last
flight. " I guess we'll see, " he said.
The fighter pilot
The younger Fizer's conversations are always peppered with stories
about his father, the Hun, and the family's various postings
across the world. " These guys knew what they were doing was
dangerous, but they still wanted to go. They were committed,
they were warriors with integrity and courage. It's an ancient
story-as long as there is war and there are soldiers. "
He uses words like " bravery " and " courage " when he talks
of the fighter pilots, who he has met over the years, first as
a child and then later attending Super Sabre events like the
one in September. This time, however, without his father. Bob
Fizer and his friends and fellow pilots are aging, their bravery
and feats flying some of the most difficult aircraft in the most
challenging circumstances retreating to memories and the
history books.
" First of all, let me make this clear: We were not heroes but
rather we were just ordinary men in extraordinary circumstances, "
said retired U.S. Air Force Gen. Chuck Boyd, an F-105
fighter pilot and seven-year POW who became a four-star general.
" The fighter pilots I have known are, by and large, a fiercely
individualistic breed of men. There is not a fighter pilot worth
his salt who would not prefer to fly alone in a single-seat aircraft,
relying totally on his singular skills than to work as a part of a
committee on any multi-seated air machine.
" And so, it should not seem surprising that this breed of men
would be as well-equipped as anyone to cope with isolation.
The enemy captors thought they could divide and conquer; that
without collective leadership we would not be able to maintain
our resistance and resolve. But they did not reckon with
the individual integrity of the American fighter pilot. In this
world of changing values where the individual dignity of man
seems to be eroding in the society, I think you would do well
to remember the example set by men who refused to compromise
their individuality. " julie.walker@aopa.org
