I am glad to hear a good story about ol' Chuck because at Edwards in
recent years he has gotten a real bad rap...quite honestly I have had
several experiences with him, all bad.

I was at Albrook Field in the Canal Zone 1952-55, when our
fledgling Air Force decided to host a Central and South
American ' good will ' tour centered around the AF's Thunderbird
Team of F-86s -- and one Chuck Yeager -- who was the AF's renowned
test pilot. The Caribbean Air Command was to be on-site escort
for the tour. All of our staff that could be spared were assigned
duties as well as escorting each of the tour's dignitaries.
