My older Brother met Steve McQueen many times. He was an A & P Mechanic working for an Executive Aviation Company at Van Nuys Airport.
McQueen used them to fly down to Mexico when he was Off Road Racing in Baja. My Brother was friendly with McQueen’s Assistant. He said the guy reminded him of Buddy Hackett.
Like I said, small world. I guess growing up in S. CA gave me an edge. #;^)
Heck, I remember being a little Kid and seeing Walt Disney a couple of times at Disneyland, along with Fred McMurray and Joe Flynn. I went there way too many times in the 60’s.
I’m getting old. In three days I’m turning 65. Born the day before the Korean Armistice was signed. I guess they figured once I showed up the War wasn’t worth it anymore.
Just remembered. My Dad knew Jonathan Winters. He used to fix his Car. They used to ride around talking about everything but the Car. LOL
I do go on.... LOL
McQueen had a big Old Biplane
that is down here in San Diego.
Lots of cool stuff in SoCal!
