The way I like to think about it is this. Whenever contemplating doing
something that you're not sure about, ask yourself how the NTSB report will
read.

I personally plan on going at 98, shot by a jealous husband.

Agreed ...except change sleep to bed. :-)

I want to die in bed when I'm ninety,

Shot by a jealous husband.

Sorry Jim, it seems we are in agreement, but I should have read all the
thread before responding.

That's okay...it's not like either of you came up with it first.

I was thinking die in bed also, but not while 'sleeping' :-)) While
doing the other thing people do in bed with a beautiful partner LOL.
Sorta selfish ain't it? Not thinking at all how the partner would feel
if the other one died on them while doing the nasty. :-))

Yeager implied he was a hot dog who would always push it and that his death
by small plane wasn't surprising.

That's how I'd like to go. Quietly, in my sleep, just like my dad did. Not
screaming like his passengers.

Yeager has never liked the civilian test pilots very much and has said so on
many occasions. The competition between the two factions when operating out
at Edwards during the heyday out there was "tense" to say the least.
Yeager overdoes it sometimes. Personally, I wish he'd learn to keep his trap
shut and just finish the good ride life has given him.

He has a propensity for shooting from the hip when questioned by reporters
and can quite often stick his perferbial foot in his mouth.
To this day, Yeager still doesn't know how to handle the press. He is the
ultimate mixture of extreme talent, tremendous ability, and intellectual
stupidity.
Yeager's "independent views" on subjects one and all have been a source of
trouble for him for years, and will no doubt plague him for the remainder of
his life.
It's a wise man who knows when enough is enough and when the hell to just
shut up and enjoy the trip.

I wouldn't call it stuoidity, but the fact he comes from a place where plain
talk and a lack of unmitigated bull**** is commonplace.

Understandable considering beginnigs and his "ride" to the top, wouldn't
you say?
