Mig 15 lost
In Memoriam To
Dr. Thomas Righetti

September 18, 2002
President and co-founder of Wings over Miami
Dr. Thomas Righetti was killed on Wednesday when his MIG 15 Fighter Jet crashed near Wilmington, North Carolina while on his way to an air show at Oceana Naval Air Station.
Tom was President and co-founder of the Wings Over Miami Museum. The Museum family is greatly saddened by Tom's loss. He was a great friend, pilot, and colleague. He was instrumental in founding the Wings Over Miami Museum, seeking funding, and organizing the museum's Board of Directors. Tom's F86F, MIG 15, Nanchang CJ6A, and Stearman PT17 were on display at and flown from the Museum.
This aircraft has featured in a few discovery documentries.
The site posted a pick of the crash site but I saw little point in posting that.

I watched a interesting documentry yesterday about the airwar in Korea .
Ivan sent quite a few pilots to fly the Mig15, and caused our chaps a great deal of trouble.
The Americans were exceedingly ticked off that we had handed the Neme engine over to Russia.
