Oh yes, and the most favorite Moment of my Air Force career was when I was a Buck Sgt, I met and suited up General Chuck Yeager to fly in the backseat of one of our F-15's. And to top off my career I was a member of then 555TH TFTS, My unit scored 39 confirmed air victories in  Vietnam, one un confirmed.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555th_Fighter_Squadron

I was in Aviano AB when Scott O'Grady was shot down over Bosnia. I attended a couple Briefings with UN FAC's to put together a Rescue Mission for him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_O'Grady  It sure was a joy to see him in front of us when they returned him to his Base and Squad, the 555th TFS. Very Ironic for me to be part of. Im Glad I was. :)  I was deployed to Aviano AB twice.

Oh, and the Time I met Iceal Hambelton, there was another Gentleman I met, Dont remember his name but I remember his story. He was a Bombardier in a B-17 and while on a Bomb run over France he got blown out of the Nose of his B-17, and was lucky enough to pull his ripcord on his Chute, while on his decent a Bf-109 shot at him in his chute and got him in his shoulder. He survived his Parachute landing fall and was immediately picked up/rescued by an Underground Element and there he remained for many months until they smuggled him back to USA Friendlies. What a story he told us. Ill never forget it.

When I was stationed to Luke AFB My first Squad Commander was L/C John "Smash" Madden, This is a pic of his Plane with 2 Mig Kill Stars in Vietnam. He got 3, 2 Mig-19's and 1 Mig-21. 

They painted 3 Stars on his F-15.
