Probably Northrup-Grumman didn't let him take up the F-20 Tigershark anymore. "I get a lot of pleasure out of flying an F-20, but I know a lot of people who have erected barriers, real brick walls, just because they have gray hair, and have permanently cut themselves off from lifelong enjoyments by thinking 'I'm too old to do this or that--that's for younger people.' Living to a ripe old age is not an end in itself; the trick is to enjoy the years remaining. And unlike flying, learning how to take pleasure from living can't be taught. Unfortunately, many people do not consider fun an important item on their daily agenda. For me, that was always high priority in whatever I was doing." -- From [i]Yeager: An Autobiography[/i] His philosophy about life makes him an even bigger hero to me and role model. May we be so blessed to enjoy the things we love throughout life. [/QB][/QUOTE]
