[Fot] Quiet Birdmen - Wikipedia. Ref: “The Silent Horsemen”

[Joe Alexander]

Jay, I have been a member since the 60s.  Very quietly.

Henry’s reference was to the “silent horsemen”. But I knew what he meant. I got a kick out of that. Anyway, we have kind of a model for the FOT. 

It’s good to revisit the concept.

I have to say I am somewhat embarrassed to never having heard of the QB Club, being that I come from an dedicated aviation family (dad, brother, uncle, 3 nephews, all either fighter, military or airline pilots).  It is a very interesting club, with an amazing roster!  Thanks for sharing.-- Jay De Pol
