message: The article says his Sabre was named "Beauteous Butch", but a photo in Air Force Magazine (Sept. 2006, p. 85)
clearly shows that it was named "Beauteous Butch II".
What happened to his first Sabre?

message: The aircraft flown by McConnell were ALL named Beautious Butch. It was only after his last combat mission that the aircraft was repainted and the name mispelled as Beauteous Butch II. The kill markings were also changed from red MiG 15 sillouettes to red stars. Any photo prior to those taken after the last flight will be spelled with an i not an e.

message: "Immediately after his 16th air victory, McConnell was sent back to the United States, along with Manuel "Pete" Fernandez, the top Air Force ace (14.5 air victories) of the 4th Fighter-Interceptor Wing."
If McConnell had 16th victories, why is Fernandez called "the top Air Force ace" with only 14.5 victories?-79.219.188.140 (talk) 22:19, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

message: Since McConnell served in both WW II and Korea a full listing of his decorations seems in order other than just the top awards. 50.202.81.2 (talk) 22:39, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
