The final installment of the Wing Commander Legacy series includes a few more stallions tracing back to CH Wind Commander on their sire line. Some of these are holding on by a thread, and there's also a list of lines from some Wing Commander sons that have completely died out. Previous posts have looked at Yorktown, Callaway's Johnny Gillen, Wing's Fleet Admiral and Chief of Greystone. All of these are relatively robust lines, although Chief of Greystone is dwindling. Today's post looks at
Flight Time and
Buck and Wing. Remember, this is only looking at intact sire lines, not show horses, or good producing daughters. These horses may be represented in other ways on today's pedigrees, not only through stallion sons. First we'll look at the Wing Commander sons, then their sons/grandsons, and finally, the lost lines. Subsequent generations are indented and modern day stallion still standing at stud are
highlighted in yellow.
A few stallions like Castle Bravo passed on recently, so there may be more stallion sons coming up in the future. Let's hope so.
