You know him? Cool!

I loved "Jet Age Test Pilot"!

Actually "knew him" would be more accurate. Tex died back in 98.
Great guy, and he pulled off one hell of a stunt back there with the
prototype Dash 80! We always kidded him about it looking like a "whale"
roll!!! :-))

His son still does interviews about it. His son looks to be social
security age, just goes to show how long ago that was.

Had a Q&A once as a guest speaker on aviation with a troop of Cub Scouts.
One of them asked me what Orville and Wilber Wright were REALLY like!!!!!!

You had a good group. At least they knew who the Wrights were.

Sort of like the Smith Brothers I think, but they coughed less :-))

Wilbur died in 1912, but Orville died in 1948. I could have know him.
I think his last flight was a Connie (as pilot).

It had to be strange for Orville, watching the ongoing never ending
legislation and restrictions and regulations coming into the picture as
aviation progressed. It had to conflict with his mental images of those
early days on the beach with the Flyer.
You have to wonder sometimes how someone like Neil Armstrong must feel when
he's all alone out late walking his dog and looking up at a new full moon?
Interesting introspective.
