156th Fighter Squadron Pilot

Wild about aviation since his first airplane ride in 1933, Lt. Col. (Ret) Ralph Easterling recently shared his experiences as a fighter pilot in World War II. Lt. Col.

Shortly after the war in 1948 he joined the North Carolina Air National Guard in what was then the 156th Fighter Squadron. In the years following, he ably served his country in both the Air National Guard and U.S. Air Force Reserve. Furthermore and consistent with his great love of flying, Easterling has been a member of Charlotte’s Aviation Commission responsible for the growth and development of Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.
