So Danny DeVito... best stick jockey ever.
Actually, I don’t think he would have made the cut. Height limits are 5’5”-6’4”. Any shorter and you can’t reach the rudder peddles and any taller your legs would get cut off by the canopy bow if you had to punch out in the ejection seat.

Ah yeah, he's only 4'10". I don't think he'd be able to see over the control panel..

Sounds like a good time! Always been a speed junkie...I'm wide awake now thinking about it..hahaha.
Yeah, the expression was “ sight is life, but speed is groovy“. My fastest speed ever was about 1800 mph. That was Mach 2.36 at 40,000 ft altitude.

With my job, I come across customers with interesting names. The top 2 I remembered : Mo butts and Pinky Snodgrass


In the fighter pilot world, when you finish mission top of training there is a naming party and the squadron picks your name. You have very little say so of what it’s going to be. Rhymes good, you did something stupid, or it’s just down right cool or funny. John Bates got “ Master” now known as Master Bates. Steve Cain got “Raisen“ now known as Raisen Cane. Of course there were always double secret call signs for squadron use only that wouldn’t be appropriate for most forums. They were pretty explicit.
