  1. I mistakenly thought this was Bud Anderson, but the originator of this content posted a correction. Here is the exchange:

    This is the legendary Bud Anderson who was Chuck Yeager's best friend during WW2. He was a triple ace in that war, and was promoted to the rank of Major at age 22. He died in May, 2024 at 102 yo.

  2. Back in the days when a competent pilot could say "If I can start it. I can fly it" a former CFI of mine who became a 777 captain burst that bubble for me when he said "yeah, but, now you have to know the password to the computer to start it"

  3. I had an instructor who basically refused to give me dual instruction in a 152 because he said we'd be overweight. So he just let me go in a long cross country even though he knew I could fly a piper cub just fine lol

  4. The fact that this man was able to fly an F14 without even looking at a NATOPS either says a lot about the pilot or the plane. And I know enough about the F14 to say that it's definitely saying more about the skill of the pilot
