I lived out in CA for 10 years before moving back East. Driven by Edwards on my way to Las Vegas but never got a chance to see the show. I did go to an airshow at Travis in Fairfield, CA. Very good show although it seems they really put on a show at Edwards including General Yeager breaking the sound barrier. As a side note, did he break his own record for the oldest man to pilot a craft breaking the barrier?
I don’t know. The next article sure makes it sound like he did but he is getting pretty old to be flying jets?
Saw him at the air show about twelve years ago being escorted through the crowd by two airmen (one armed with a rifle and one with a shotgun.) Lifted up little Ben Junior so he could see — he claims he still remembers.
