San Diego's Lindbergh Field airport: Approach through downtown, fly about 10 ft. over the top of a parking lot, land on short runway.

I was a jr test pilot & the sr test pilots (college grads) asked Gen Boyd, "Why Yeager?"

Is that not the greatest compliment you could receive? I'm not in your league, but I had a similar one in the Navy. 32 years later, I still puff with pride recalling it.
