BGen Rudy Wacker was a great leader, fighter pilot, and USAF officer. His lessons in leadership made a difference for alot of young officers who had the pleasure to serve under his command. Rest in Peace

Steve Coppinger
Colonel, USAF (ret)

It was my privilege to serve as (then) Colonel Rudy Wacker's Executive Officer when he was Commander of the 81st Tactical Fighter Wing at RAF Bentwaters/Woodbridge, England, in 1978-79. He was the model commanding officer: distinguished in appearance; charismatic in authority; sweeping in his knowledge of this huge Wing (world's largest), its facilities, and people; and an excellent representative of our country to our British hosts. I watched him earn and then pin on his BG star, and felt then, as I do now, that he was one of the finest officers I have ever known.
