01/27/2016 09:50 AM CST

Christina Olds, daughter of late Brig. Gen. Robin Olds, one of the Air Force's most iconic fighter pilots, visited Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina, Jan. 22, 2016, to speak about her father's accomplishments in the Air Force.

Airmen from around the base came to the 334th Fighter Squadron to hear Olds recount stories of her father's adventures during World War II and the Vietnam War, as well as the type of commander he was.

The general is rated a triple ace, having shot down a total of 17 enemy aircraft during WWII and the Vietnam War and has held the positions of squadron, base, group and wing commander as well as staff assignments in a numbered Air Force, Headquarters U.S. Air Force and the Organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
