  1. These are from a recent addition to the Mojave Air and Space Port Archive. They were taken on Edwards AFB. Looks like there was a Model A club on base at one time and its members had enough pull to set up a neat event. Not happening in this day and age. IMG_0936.JPG IMG_0939.JPG IMG_0940.JPG

  2. No clue if anyone in these is Chuck Yeager, but it looks like the squadron Model A may have still been a thing at the time of this deal. IMG_0946.JPG IMG_0947.JPG IMG_0947.JPG IMG_0945.JPG

    F-104 in the picture. Google the history of the airplane and, particularly, the sale of a bunch of them to Germany.

    At the time his autobiography came out, wasn't the Model A that he owned still on base? It had been passed down from airman to airman for years. Cool story, great book. Been a while since I read it though.
     
  6. No clue on His Model A's location at that time. It's probably long gone now.
    They just broke ground on a new Museum outside of the Edwards main gate, where the general public will be able to enjoy. Yeagers Model A or a replica of it would be a really cool thing to have there. It'll probably never happen though.
