I got to serve him breakfast a few times when I was young and working the airport Cafe between Lineman jobs. One of my Heroes! True American Bad Ass!




I think this pic was taken is Oshkosh Wis. around the time I met him.Some of the old codgers that would hang around the airport where I worked would tell me not to prop start the planes. Hahaha! At 16yrs old I was older than some of them were when they were flying old canvas french made planes against the Kaiser in WWI.
This is the way I remember him when he would touch down at Clow Airport on his way up to the big show at Oshkosh. I wish I got to know a bunch of those guys who would pass through there. I'm sure a great story was told from time to time. I was too busy refilling ten cent coffee's at the time. When I worked the field there wasn't much time for conversation. Got up on the wing and filled 'er up. Tip tanks? 100 Gal. each.
One company finally landed at the airport and liberated me from the diner I'd been working at since kicking in my bosses door and getting fired. They were some cool guys and let me go with them to the big show once in their King Air turboprop. If you live back east and want to see the best air show in the world, then go to Oshkosh!

It's all about the rush.

Charles Elwood "Chuck" Yeager (born February 13, 1923) is a retired General in the United States Air Force and noted test pilot. He is widely considered to be the first pilot to travel faster than sound (1947). Originally retiring as a brigadier general, Yeager was promoted to major general on the Air Force's retired list 20 years later for his military achievements.
His career began in World War II as a private in the U.S. Army Air Forces. After serving as an aircraft mechanic, in September, 1942 he entered enlisted pilot training and upon graduation was promoted to the rank of Flight Officer (WW 2 U.S. Army Air Forces rank equivalent to Warrant Officer) and became a P-51 Mustang fighter pilot. After the war he became a test pilot of many kinds of aircraft and rocket planes. Yeager was the first man to break the sound barrier on October 14, 1947, flying the experimental Bell X-1 at Mach 1 at an altitude of 13,700 m (45,000 ft). Although Scott Crossfield was the first man to fly faster than Mach 2 in 1953, Yeager shortly thereafter exceeded Mach 2.4.[1] He later commanded fighter squadrons and wings in Germany and in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, and in recognition of the outstanding performance ratings of those units he then was promoted to brigadier general. Yeager's flying career spans more than sixty years and has taken him to every corner of the globe, even into the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War.

This song was stuck in my head since I got up this morning. Makes some good riding music. The Slabbers got me thinking about it.

Great Biltwell Party! Slab City!
We took off from Temecula as scheduled. Rode up the hills to Julian with only one broken chain. no other breakdowns. We did loose one rider at the back of the pack. Something happened and he lost it in a turn coming down the mountain from Julian. Best wishes to him. He was taken away in an ambulance.
The beer was even better than I remembered from the Bash! Great stuff and plenty of it! I think they may of brewed this up special just for us because I swear there was more alcohol than in any regular beer. Got a good drunk on! One of those ones where ya cant remember everything.
The caterer will be cleaning beer pee of his truck for some time to come. Nuff said about that guy.
The ride home this morning was windy. Side winds with gusts up to 50mph made me feel like the bike was going to fly out from under me more than a few times. Allen and I made some good time getting home none the less. We took the 111 up to the 10. 60 to the 91. On the 91 we came up on a group of sport bikes. We flew past them at 95mph and blew their doors off. Hahaha! brumblebrumble haha! Got their attention because they came flying past us a few minutes later doing wheelies & other stunts. One of them looked like he was break dancing on the thing. This dude had bouth feet on the ground on the left side of the bike at 85mph. Now that's entertainment!
I'll be posting more pix tomorrow. Time to eat. Sleep. Shit. Etc.
Great seeing everyone!
And stay away from the blue acid!
