<<I remember reading a book on Yeager and eyesight was his greatest asset.>>

Ted Williams was a great hitter because his eyesight was so good, he didn't sell a little white pill, he saw the ball so well he could pick up the rotation of the ball and know the type of pitch it was.

I hunted with a guy who had eyes that good. Duck. Where? In front of the blind. 4 miles in front of the blind. My cousin worked a paving job with this guy and a small plane passed in the distance, far enough it was a speck to all on the job except this guy. He read the numbers on the tail. Bets were made and a truck was sent to the airport. The plane was going from the strip to the hanger and they guy was right!

BTW, you should have watched the opening of the Daytona 500 today. The lovely lady sang the Star Spangled Banner perfectly.
