Your a brave one, I remember when they were doing testing on those freakin things.

They had a few crashes at USMCAS YUMA. This was back in 99-2000 time frame. I was stationed at Pendleton at the time.

When I was about 10 or so. My brother and I were swimming in the hotel pool located in the Twin cities. About 15 of these guys come in and start swimming and throwing my brother and I around the pool. Come to find out the next day it was the Cleveland Indians.

I also stood in line for a porta john with drummer for the Kentucky Headhunters. lol

Most of what I'm famous for embarrasses my family so I can't tell ya.

Years ago I met and talked with Mel Tillis for a while. The fella that stutters except when he sings for you younger guys. Well found out there's another time he don't stutter...when he cusses. He'd spit and sputter for a bit then send out a tirade of words that'd make women and children scamper. Then he'd be fine for a while.

Top notch guy though. He'd give you the shirt off his back and not complain about getting sunburned.

My family was big into horses, and I met William shatner, patrick swayze, and a few other celebs at the Arabian nationals in the late 80's, early 90's. I also worked at Walnut Creek amphitheatre in NC (now it's something else), and met quite a few singers and got lots of autographs.
