You are a prize Dave.Had me on that one.I loved Chuck Yeagers book. He was quite a character and one of my all time favorite heros.He used to love to quail hunt in Jawbone Canyon.I wonder if he ever hiked MW? I wonder how many if any of those test pilots out at Edwards( formerly called Muroc) have. Probably never sober long enough between test flights.
"Blessed with exceptional 20/10 vision, Yeager had eyes that could "see forever." He combined this advantage with cunning, concentration, relentless ferocity and superb piloting skills to rack up a final total of 12.5 aerial victories--including five Me109s on 12 October and four FW 190s on 27 November."
