I didn’t fly, I just fixed the radios that the ship used to talk to the planes.

I meant pinging Taxman ..............he has some wonderful stories about his flying career. ;-P

He still hasn’t outgrown his ‘need-for-speed’ speed as he goes for land-speed records while driving his ‘goat’!!!!!!

........sorry .......I might add, your work was a VERY important job! Lives depended on your expertise!

Capt. Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager became the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound in level flight on Oct. 14, 1947. Captain Yeager flew to Mach 1.06 aboard a Bell X-1 nicknamed "Glamorous Glennis" after his wife. (U.S. Air Force photo)
