Ha ha! I bet the simulator was fun. P-51? Crashing a lot on a simulator means you are learning. The public space shuttle simulators at Space Center Houston were always crowded so many people witnessed my crashes. Finally pulling off a successful landing on the runway at Kennedy Space Center, FL was a great feeling especially when the crowd applauded.

I bet he handled his last mission just like all the others. Yeager was the personification of the right stuff.
