I am looking for contact information for Capt. Prichard as I met him in 2008 while attending an airshow with the U-10A that I am the crew chief of. He and I exchanged a t-shirt and some squadron patches. Capt. Prichard's wife is also an A-10 pilot. I can be contacted at nathanmackey@yahoo.com. Thanks much.
