When I look at this picture of my husband Al with General Chuck Yeager, it brings back fond memories of the Edwards Air Show in October 2002.
Al flew his Canadair F-86E out for static display and I flew backseat in a Canadair CT-133 (T-33 Thunderbird) that belongs to Charlie Wallasch. It only takes a couple of minutes to fly from Mojave Airport to Edwards AFB, but the preparation time of getting clearances, etc. takes many hours! The weather really cooperated and it was a wonderful air show.
Al met up with Gen. Chuck Yeager and it was fun to stand back and just watch and listen. They have known each for many years. Yeager once said, “Fame makes you kind of cautious, a bit anxious to guard your privacy.” It was good to see him relax a little while talking over old times with Al.
