Chuck Yeager dislikes the British.

I was lucky enough to be trained as a pilot at I BFTS at Terrell in Texas. I had nothing but kindness from the locals and most of the instructors and certainly had first class training. I was "adopted" by a family and was in contact for many years post war. Travelling as a cadet was easy and I never experienced anything but kindness and hospitality. Later, taking a Shackleton to various US Naval bases on their east coast, we were treated extremely well and as fellow comrades in arms, shown everything. We are lucky to have such a good ally and I for one, hope that our special relationship holds, despite various folk, on both sides, trying to sow discord. It is a great pity that we do not have a joint operations room in the Middle East with US,UK and RUSSIA. ,!!
