Not only was Richie an Ace pilot with 5 confirmed kills, on July 8, 1972, Captain Steve Ritchie downed two MiGs with three missiles in 1 minute, 29 seconds. First USAF Ace of the Vietnam War his WSO Jeffery Feinstein would claim 6 flying with another pilot than Ritchie for the last. Col Robin Olds had five probably Six kills but couldn’t claim the fifth because Washington told him that would end his tour.Olds decided staying with his squadron was more important to the cause than some kill claims so they were buried and never reported. That’s the kinda leader he was and his pilot’s loved him for it.
