    Met my second cousin Claude today & his daughter at Air show. Last time we met may have been 78 years ago. Who else can say that it's been 78 yrs since they saw a relative. He came to the air show at Yeager Airport.

    Thanks for the nice welcome!

    Despite the rain today, Gen. Chuck Yeager made an appearance at the Airshow and mingled with the crowd. What a true honor it was to have him in attendance and to celebrate the 71st anniversary of his significant aviation accomplishments. WVNG photos by Bo Wriston

    Oct 13, 1947: Ribs hurt. A lot. Went to veterinarian off base. If I'd gone to on base doc, he would have grounded me. Vet taped me up & said, "Don't do nothin' strenuous!" I told Ridley: "We have a problem." He: "Hmph", cut off a broomstick, we tested it. Worked. ,
