Dick Sykes

Dick Sykes, one of the founders and longtime leader of the Condor Squadron, passed away on August 2, 2008. Dick was 84 years young.

. All of the Condors express their condolences to Dick's family on their loss.

Based in Van Nuys, CA, the Condor Squadron is known to aviation fans around the world for our dramatic flights in restored North American AT-6/SNJ World War II vintage aircraft. A frequent sight over parades and other events throughout Southern California, the Condor Squadron salutes the men and women of our armed forces, and honors the sacrifices they have made.
