Met him today in Houston at a gun show.  Got a signed picture, signed limited edition p40 and a nice talk.  What a nice day today was.

He has always been one of my heroes as well.
I remember when I was like 10 years old, and somehow I got ahold of a history of the AVG.  His name kept cropping up again and again throughout the story.  What an awesome fighter pilot.
