Grandfather’s World War II legacy continued by pilot grandson

The late Harry Burdette visiting with his grandson, then 5-year-old Shawn Jensen, in 1990 in San Antonio, Texas. Jensen, now an RC-135 Rivet Joint pilot with the 763rd Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron, has always admired the spiritual strength of both his grandfather, a B-17 Flying Fortress pilot who flew for the 379th Bombardment Group in World War II, and his father, a retired F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot.
