He learned to fly in the mid-1960&#8217;s on the North American Harvard, before progressing to the Vampire jet fighters of No. 75 Squadron RNZAF. He filled the role of Flight Commander on the Vampire squadron before moving on to the English Electric Canberra, and then eventually the Skyhawk as it entered service.<\/p>\n<p>In 1972 Pete was chosen to serve a tour of duty in Vietnam in the role of Forward Air Controller. He was attached to a USAF unit and flew the unusual push-pull twin boom Cessna O-2 in combat. He would mark targets for the Phantoms and other aircraft to strike with bombs or rockets.\u00a0Pete gives a fascinating insight into the life of a Kiwi strike pilot and FAC pilot during the 1960&#8217;s and 1970&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>The music heard in the opening is Pop Nugget by Dave Depper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Video Version:<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wings Over New
