On March 30, 2026, we honored the life and legacy of Col. (Ret.) Bud Anderson, America's last triple ace pilot of World War II.
He was a legendary pilot, but above all, a lifelong patriot to his country. In the air and beyond, his funeral marks a reflection of a life that's inspired generations.
His legacy will live in the skies he journeyed, forever embedded in the freedom he helped defend.
