Good Morning all!
I met up with Bud Anderson last month at the EAA Airventure in Oshkosh, WI. A gentleman through and through.
He still talks with great pride of his days as a fighter pilot in England.
He said the ones who wins most battles are not those who have the best strategy, but are the ones who make the fewest mistakes.
Saw both Yeager and Anderson fly in mustangs last year. It was quite a thrill, and one I'll not forget.

Morning Northern Yankee.
Thanks for stopping into the Foxhole and sharing. I'll bet it was a thrill meeting those two and seeing the Mustangs!

I've been to the airshows in OshKosh, even had flight line passes one year (What a difference that makes to enjoying an airshow). Never met any famous pilots, but meeting WWII vets who flew with the 8th was thrilling enough.

Saw both Yeager and Anderson fly in mustangs last year. It was quite a thrill, and one I'll not forget. Gen. Yeager flew at the last airshow at Ft. Huachuca a few years ago. To this day, that was the most impressed I've ever been...and I've been to a lot of airshows.
