Yup, me too. Funny story, my Grandpa was a VP at Aero Spacelines and Tracor here at the Santa Barbara Airport. In the 80s, Queen Elizabeth II came to Santa Barbara to visit Ronald Reagan at the Western White House. She was supposed to come in on a yacht and everyone was asking him if he was going to go down to see her. His response was always "if the Queen wants to see me, she can come to my hanger." Well there ended up being too much rain for her to take the yacht in so they flew in and you can guess where they parked her plane. My mom got a phone call from him "GD Queen is in my GD hanger." You can guess what the GD stood for.
I can relate. In the late '60s, my parents toured Ireland, and made a stop back in London before heading home. The hotel clerk made a big deal about the queen had been traveling, but was back in the palace, just down the street, if my parents wanted to walk by. My father's retort was, "If she wants to see me, she can come here!" The clerk was not amuzed.
