What you see is what you get--he is down to earth and a West Virginia country boy. But, he is higly intelligent-and an outstanding pilot.
He spoke at a luncheon for us once---he wasn't exactly PC. He was openly flirting wildly with all the female officers on the base--something you would never see from today's generation.
He also made some comment like "Now all you perty girls up front don't have to understand this aerodynamics stuff--but yur all sooo perty it don't make no nevermind."
Un-PC--yes. But he was forgiven. He acted coy and lovable, and was gracious. A man from another time, another era.
