Was there a navy fighter pilot during the Vietnam war known as
Plutothecat.
He was a hero and won the Navy Cross for his deeds. Anyone know him or
have information about this Navy fighter pilot? I need his real name.

Do you have any additional information on this person? E.g. When did
he win the Navy Cross, and what for?
http://www.vietnamunitmemorialmon.org/navy_cross.htm lists many Navy
Cross recipients during the Vietnam War.

Secret...no, but he did fly off carriers. He lives in the Washington
DC and is retired. I have been friends with him through the Yahoo
Abbott Labs stock message board for at least 2 years. The information
given is what he has posted.
This is not a "chat board" BTW. I will review the Navy cross
recipients for a clue. I wonder if it is really the Navy Flying Cross?

pershing83, 

So far I have found very little to no clues. May I comment that people
sometimes exaggerate in the virtual reality. I am not implying that
this is the case. If this was also his nick in yahoo, you may try to
post to this name at yahoo.com (with the appropriate apologies in the
case you got to the wrong person), in many cases Yahoo users have the
same names in their mail and other usages of the site.

Just as a test, I tried to be listed in Yahoo with that name, and
there is a user by that name. That says nothing, but that might be
your buddy.

For any interested researcher:

This link will provide a plenitude of messages by and about a person
calling himself "plutothecat_17" who posts on Yahoo message boards,
including the Abbott Lab board mentioned by pershing83-ga. Happy
hunting.
