I saw Hoover at the Salinas air show. He did his signature energy conservation routine in his Shrike. Pretty impressive. |

Bob knew he wasn't going to crash so thought they weren't needed.

Some day, you're going to takeoff knowing ihat this will be your last flight. And someday you're going to takeoff not knowing ihat this will be your last flight. They're called 'accidents' not 'on purposes': accidents happen unplanned. |

those things were only accomplished because of you. Yeager was an exceptional pilot, but also a shameless self-promoter. The guy had a huge pair....but the sound barrier would have been broken without him. If you read his autobiography he still comes off as somewhat an a**hole, and that's him writing about himself. I would not want to fly anything that he had flown the day before. YMMV |

Flirted with Mach 1, they came back with a tattered aircraft. That's if they came back at all. There were no civilian pilots who would dare challenge Mach 1. And a lot of military pilots were terrified of it too. |

Any fear. Or, the demand for a lot of money can be a ruse to cover up fear. |

asking for a lot of money could mean that you want....wait for it .... more money, and you think you have enough leverage to get it. But I'm sure you're probably right, he just asked for a lot of money because he was afraid. Yeah, that's the ticket. |
