Title: Who are your most interesting Facebook friends?
Post by: Widewing on October 16, 2012, 06:47:15 PM: Yeah, some of us use Facebook to keep in touch with family and friends.. We organized our 40th high school reunion through Facebook. More than 1/3 of the 750+ classmates attended (twice as many as the previous and following classes).

I have some good friends whom I can keep up with thanks to Facebook. Most I knew for years prior to the advent of Facebook. You may have heard of some of them. You can find all of the below on Facebook and most will gladly accept "friend" requests. So, if you use Facebook, do a search for them.

If you have some interesting Facebook friends, list them too.

Walter J. Boyne (everyone here should recognize Walt)
Wild Bill Guarnere (ever see Band of Brothers?)
Robert (Bob) Dorr (aviation author)
Eric Hammel (military author)
Chris Fahey (Planes of Fame pilot)
Vlado Lenoch (Vlado owns and flies the P-51D Moonbeam McSwine)
Dudley Henriques (former test and airshow pilot)
Brad Smith (son of R.T. Smith)
Bruce Gamble (aviation author)
James (Jim) Hornfischer (naval author and historian)
Jay Welch (son of Ace and test pilot George S. Welch)
Dan Farnham (Aviation historian)
Gary Velasco (aviation artist)
Nathaniel Gunn (son of Pappy Gunn)
Barrett Tillman (military author)

(Edit: I forgot Barrett!)

Post by: coombz on October 16, 2012, 06:49:12 PM: that guy Josh Olds who runs the 'Fly Aces High' Facebook group is a laugh riot

Josh Olds:

"notorious hack squad, The Few"

"LOL. At least I don't change the weight of my plane in the AH files folder.."

"Not all of us can be British computer programmers and advertise our squad on a website thus giving free advertising to HTC, thus receiving special priv's."

"No I salute good piloting. I defame cheats. When a pilot climbs 9k straight up without losing E in a 109G....eh....seriously?"

"They hang witches in Salem ya know? I can only imagine what they do to hackers in Europe."

:D

Post by: RTR on October 17, 2012, 09:13:31 PM: Not a facebook friend, but have met and talked with Chuck Yeager. 1980

Met and had a few laughs with Patty Flagstaff (SP?), years ago too...cool lady and much smaller in stature than you would think.

I grew up in aviation, still in it and still in awe of many people. I am humbled in so many ways every day :)

The likelihood of Selena Gomez having a personal Facebook profile is pretty low
However, your son very likely has 'liked' the Selena Gomez fan page
