People on the airshow circuit say that Yeager is actually a total a$shole, BTW.

Really? And do you have anything to support that or is that simply some flying BS?
From what I heard when I was stationed at Edwards...Yeager is an ass. OTOH, my Dad flew in his squadron and said he was an incredible pilot - the best he ever met. And my Dad wasn’t one to hand out compliments lightly.
