The Ultimate Man’s Man.

Fella had some flaws in life, as we all do, but the man showed a lot to be admired.

He’s still missed.

I know a guy who owns his old steerman, a true conversation piece.

“McQueen’s Machines”, a recent book by Mike Stone and son Chad McQueen, is an excellent read. Much background information as well as coverage of all the bikes, cars and airplanes Steve owned at different times, especially the ones which appeared in his movies.

I had an enormous crush on Steve McQueen. Now I remember why. :)

Santa Paula airport was a great place for vintage airplanes, experimental, and homebuilt aircraft in the mid-70s!

Mira Slovak kept his black and white checked bi-plane there.
He used to perform arial stunts in between heats at unlimited hydroplane races, when he raced on the Columbia in the 60s. (they’d helicopter him from the pits to the airport and back)

Does anyone know for certain if McQueen did the bike stunts in the Great Escape?

He certainly did the “close ups” — I’m wondering if he did the hairy stuff on that bike.

One of my all time favorite actors.

There’s a reason I drive a ‘01 Mustang Bullitt GT... Steve McQueen made it cool ;-)

Hay is that Lee Majors? Where have all the real actors gone?
