re: If you could have a beer with any Hero of Yours? Who would it be?

Robin Olds or Claire Chennault, as far as pilots go. Yeager is probably a top 3 most accomplished pilot of all time, but also a known tool.

Politically, Reagan or Churchill.

Elvis or John Wayne

That he was. “Fighter Pilot” is probably my favorite book. Should be required reading for ALL military officers. I don’t know if he was a better pilot or leader. That’s awesome you got to meet him

Yeager’s books aren’t bad, but everyone I’ve ever met that has interacted with him said what you just said basically. Again not taking anything away from the man accomplishment wise.

Isn’t Olds the reason y’all have mustache march in the Air Force?



My grandfather to answer the OP’s question. The only person I consider to be a hero in my book.

I’d bet the house he got more than 5. Probably the best example of the man’s grit and character.

As far as mustache March is concerned, he’s the only inspiration I’ve ever heard for it.

got rotated back to the Pentagon and ran into a higher ranking officer(maybe his boss?) right away, guy told him to lose it, and that was the end of that

My grandfather. He loved Jax beer. But he died when I was ten so I never had a chance to drink a few with him.

My Dad...#1 in my eyes!
