Admiral Bear Taylor,
So sorry and disappointed to hear about the loss of Chuck Myer! With two Masters and a Ph.D. , I can tell you for damned sure I never learned as much in all those classroom years as I did in far-too-few weekly (mid-week to avoid the crowd) Happy Hours at Ft. Myers; with Tom Christie, John Boyd, occasionally Pierre Sprey, and Chuck Myers. The finest aeronautical minds to ever come together produced the 3 longest serving, and arguably the most capable aircraft ever to launch into American fighter aircraft history. F-16 topped the list (maybe) with F-18 very close behind, and (with the Air Force still shouting “foul”) the A-10.
Now gone, and with no obvious qualified replacements! Wonder if our children will learn to like Chow Mein as much as the good All-American steaks we used to eat?
God have mercy on Chuck’s soul, and all of us who admired him.
