ORIGINAL: khodges Here I am, from bygone days, with one of my flyin' buddies . I'm the younger guy. 1988, Brooks AFB, San Antonio. Are you sure that old guy can fly ??? FBD. Dave--If "that old guy" could fly half as good as he could drink beer, he coulda broke the sound barrier just by flappin' his arms real hard. We (my USAF Flight Nurse class) bought him beer all evening long; didn't seem to faze him one bit, but damn, could he tell a story. I guess he's about the most 'direct' person I ever met, famous or otherwise. Of course, someone who's been there, done that, like he has, can say whatever to whoever he wants. You couldn't help but respect him, or like him. Of all the people who've made aviation what it is today, I'm glad I got to meet HIM.
