Capt. Sidney Nischan, Jim's
section commander in T-28s and jets
| Note: Capt. Nischan was a big mountain of a man with a heart to match. His wise and patient counseling helped many student pilots achieve their full potential in learning the intricacies of flying jets. That building behind him was typical of many around Webb AFB at the time. They were only finished in tar paper. The barracks were some of the few buildings that had been completed. |
