In Contact page for Bruce Sikkema - D Troop Cobras 1970-1971

We have been informed that Bruce Wayne (AKA: Batman) Sikkema will be having hip replacement surgery around November 22, 2011 so he will be out of action for awhile. All you 1970-1971 Centaurs that served with Bruce (a Cobra pilot) can send him an email HERE. Be sure to mark your calendar to check on Bruce as he goes through post surgical rehab - always the really fun part of any surgery. 

We have received the two photos below showing Bruce and a fellow Centaur examining a religious (as in hole'y) slick and a photo showing Bruce proving that you really can do a 'wingover' in a Cobra and live to tell about it. A reliable source tells us there was probably more than one but we'll have to wait for 'Batman' to tell us the whole story.

Bruce Sikkema sent an email advising that the pilot on the left in the first photo is Tom Olsen.

If you have any additional stories or photos on this subject you can send the story to your Webmaster via email HERE. 

01/04/2012: Bruce sent us, to borrow a phrase from Paul Harvey, "The rest of the story." regarding the Cobra wingover. You can go to the I REMEMBER section read the full story and view the full sequence photos.
