Yeager's X-1 was called " Glamourous Glennis" after his wife. Not
"Glen", as mentioned below.

I was taxiing to depart from John Tune (Nashville, TN) last year when a
beautiful P51 landed and turned onto the taxiway directly in front of
me. I have never before or since been so aware of the paltry limits of
my insurance coverage.

A few months ago I was with a group flying gliders for a week at
Uvalde. A fellow who runs a Citation mod business on the airport has
another beautifully restored P51. One morning they were repositioning
the plane. The fellow driving the tug stopped her along side us and
let us walk around up close and drool. I noticed that painted on the
nose was "Glamorous Glen". I asked the tug driver if this had been
Yeager's plane or was just painted that way. He replied, "Mark and the
General were hunting down around Encinal last year. When he heard that
Mark had bought a Mustang he told him he should paint it up this way."

How cool would that be?
