“I helped pull Flair out of a crashed airplane in the 70’s in NC. Scratched and barely hurt, he was whining like a little kid. It took several minutes for him to sober up and realize he was alive.”

Is this the same plane wreck that Flair claims he broke his back in?

His back was as broken as mine. It has gotten him a lot of mileage. He DID leave in a neck brace...

But, his pilot was an ass. He left Raleigh without refueling and ran out of gas, "landing" 1/2 mile short of the runway. Their lives were saved by southern yellow pines. They bend, but they don't break! The wings were still on the plane in the middle of a woods!
