One small step for man... in Turkey! No way.

Yup, about a week ago, I got to see Steve Richie (only fighter pilot ace since Korea), Robert Gilliland (Chief SR-71 Blackbird test pilot, and first to fly it), Jim Lovell (Apollo 13 Commander - yup, the guy Tom Hanks played in the movie), Gene Cernan (last man to leave his footprints on the moon), and Neil Armstrong!!!  What an amazing little 30-45 min staged panel they provided for us lucky folk out here in USAFE (US Air Forces Europe)!
THE legend himself, holding the mic... just wow!

Unfortunately the line was too long and I had to be back, so I couldn't get autographs/close pictures.  But these are plenty good enough for lil ol' me!


To infinity and beyond, ya'll.
