Yeah, I know. But you do have to respect that he is a WWII vet. Other than that...flame away!

Well...he did break the sound barrier.

That is debatable, actually. He is the first one to officially break the sound barrier.

But I will agree that he is arrogant. I never met him personally, but I know of others who have.

Ive met him before, couple times, and aside from the fact that he's a vet and did his part, i dont like him or his attitude...
Watched him blow off a 12 year old kid for an autograph, told him he should have come earlier.... My Dad called him on it and had words with him, and had to be seperated... Pretty funny....
George Welsh, the hero of Pearl Harbor, was the first man to break the sound barrier, diving an XP-86.....

Wow, I didn't know about that experience. I had heard he was arrogant, but that's just messed up. Good for your dad though.

George Welsh, eh? Yeah that name rings a bell. Besides the Pearl Harbor part, I mean. I knew of him from that already.
As for Yeager, it sounds like he's a grade A dick. In the few documentary interviews I'd seen of him, you'd never have guessed it. He seemed like a pretty laid back guy.

Me either. Looking at the left wing damage, I wonder if that was a ground loop.
