Eagles International Forum

A while back Eric posted a link to a YouTube video on Facebook that is a must see for anyone interested in Eagle buses.

It is a video that was filmed this year and is an interview of the "who's who" of people associated with Eagle buses over the years. Lots of fun stories and quite a bit of history.

The video is rather long, but well worth watching.

Jim, thanks worth the watch, would have been interesting if my (our) old friend Norris could have set in.

Has anybody heard from Norris? Is he still alive and well? He certainly has helped many of us over the years.

I wish I could have been there when it happened. The only one of those folks in the video that I knew in the past bas Dave Millhouser. but I could have added a few interesting
bits and pieces such as how I went to Viet Nam on an Eagle bus, actually several between Miami and Fort Lewis, WA. I could have also spoken about John Hecket of
Panhandle Trailways in Amarillo, TX, a dear friend and maybe a few other subjects and people as well. I was also at Eagle Day in 1988 and I had the possibility of blowing the roof off the factory but I thought it best to keep silent. It had to do with the the fact that I had the idea that 2 stroke GM diesels would not be for much longer because of ever-
tighter emissions requirements. Time permitting, I'd have also spoke about the Flxible Vista-Liner 100 or VL-100 and how it influenced Eagle design.

Small world, I too rode in an Eagle (Model 01) for the first time when I left the Army Induction Center in 1965 to go to basic training at Fort Dix, NJ. I thought the whitewalls were silly, but I appreciated the lack of leaning in the corners.
