I was at Albrook Field in the Canal Zone 1952-55, when our
fledgling Air Force decided to host a Central and South
American ' good will ' tour centered around the AF's Thunderbird
Team of F-86s -- and one Chuck Yeager -- who was the AF's renowned
test pilot. The Caribbean Air Command was to be on-site escort
for the tour. All of our staff that could be spared were assigned
duties as well as escorting each of the tour's dignitaries.

Thanks Mike, that made it worthwhile to log on this morning.
Cheers
