Know what you mean. Still carry a pack in my A2 jacket. Never know might just need a stick or two.Still tell my son about the time I flew Gordos' Bonanza. He still thinks I'm full of it, but like the time I tipped a few with Hoover he will find oout sooner or later.

Your right Jeff, better to be a Pudknocker than not a pilot at all!

Chuck Yeager (Sam Shepard): "Well, I'll tell you what. Half these engineers have never been off the ground, you know. I mean, they're liable to tell you that the sound barrier's a brick wall in the sky. It'll rip your ears off if you try to go through it. If you ask me, I don't even believe the darn thing even exists."


Me and the guy that used to work fromt desk at my flight school, who was a huge fan of this movie as well, would have this talk all of the time.

Chuck Yeager: "Hey, Ridley?"
Jack Ridley (Levon Helm): "Yeah?"
Chuck Yeager: "You got any Beemans?"
Jack Ridley: "I might have me a stick."
Chuck Yeager: "Well, loan me some, will ya? I'll pay you back later."
Jack Ridley: "Fair enough."
Chuck Yeager: "I think I see a plane over here with my name on it."

Does anyone know if the story about LBJ being refused in by Annie Glenn is a true story? I love how it is depicted in the movie.

I need to get it on DVD. I love the final scene when Cooper goes up and the credits roll...
