Update

The shipping was paid for by myself and a couple vet buddies. We refused the Colonels offer to pay for it. ……. But…. He is mailing me my ten bucks back with his signature on the bill I’ll probably frame it….

Update The Jacket is Home!!

Update. Jacket on the way will do

That’s the plan. He gets back the 23rd and I’m sure he’ll take a pic with it and send it to me When he does I’ll post it on here

Update just hung up with Stu. The jacket will be shipped tomorrow back to its owner. We agreed on shipping cost and my ten bucks. Lol. Really awesome guy. A national treasure for sure. Actually qualified in the F4 for carrier operations (daytime only as he was quick to point out) The jacket...

Update I finally located Stu this morning. He lives at Blue Skies in San Antonio. It’s a retirement community for Air Force personnel I talked to a lady named AlIesha who works at Blue Skies and knows the Col well. He is on vacation and will return the 23rd I sent a pic of the jacket to Alesha...

So maybe he had three? Since he was Air Force he couldn’t get issued an A2 at the time so he did an end run and kinda joined the Navy/Marines for a bit through the limited exchange thangy. Stu sure does love flight leather and did what he had to do to get one!! Or three

Haven’t talked to hm yet. I assume he would want it back.

Me too. I can’t wait to talk to him to find out how it got displaced

I think he should pay the full ten bucks. Consider it a dumbass tax for letting that beauty out of your site

Will do

Thanks everyone for your help

Update i found Stu’s Facebook page and sent him a message about the jacket and he can purchase it from me for what I paid (ten bucks) He lives in San Antonio. Awaiting response

Thank You
