Thumbs up Kirk Meets Chuck

I was invited by both Victoria and Chuck Yeager for breakfast Friday morning at the Renaissance Hotel in Dallas, Texas. I spent four hours with the couple at the Dallas Safari Club Convention. The three of us walked around the grounds and I got to hear him talk about some of the planes he flew and hunting. Of course as you can imagine many people stopped him to shake his hand, take a picture, or ask for an autograph. I was treated very well by the two of them.

Below is a picture of us at the hotel. Chuck signed a copy of his autobiography for me and two of my models.

Re: Kirk Meets Chuck

Hey Kirk, I met both of them at Oshkosh last year after I intervieewed him for the NMUSAF magazine. I was treated very nice by both of them, adn still keep in touch. I know many people say other wise, but I can only judge someone by how they treat me. So I have nothing to say but good things about Chuck and Victoria.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Re: Kirk Meets Chuck

Good for you, Capt. Kirk! Yeah, I met Yeager twice myself and had him autograph my autobio book of him just like yours. Thanks for sharing your pictures, bud.
