Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "Nice. Stationed at Leiston Air Base during WWII, we had no visitors. So when @VictoriaYeage11 & I visited Afghanistan in 2012, we tried to go to bases where no one visits. Having just 4 of us plus security, made it easier. #Afghanistan #Troops @HISTORY @GarySinise… https://t.co/6sndHScUqV"

  While deployed to the Middle East as an aircraft mechanic in 2010, I was selected to have go have dinner with some “distinguished visitors” one night by my squadron section chief. I had no idea who I was about to meet. What an honor. https://bobgillilandsr71.com/album/legends-of-the-aerospace-tour/ …

  I've just looked up where Leiston is, only a small portion of runway left to see on Google. Now farmland. Google maps also brings up the airfield memorial. http://www.friendsofleistonairfield.co.uk/

  Visited Leiston whilst on holiday in Lincolnshire after reading your book. Airfield now houses, Fish & Chip shop shut.

  So, those Afghan bases where "no one" visits can't be called as such anymore, because "someone" of legendary stature (that's you, General Yeager) has visited them. God bless you more, sir.
