Well who can blame him... give to the old timers they still can kick a$$... Was reading about the Joesph Kittinger and the kit he dived out of that balloon with, compared to what Felix Baumgartner jumped with, and he had no use of his right hand due to a pressure seal failure... nowadays the electrics would kick in and about it 6 ways til Sunday... brave men the lot of them...

Gen Yeager was 89 on his flight Sunday. I wonder who the oldest man to break the mach was? (betcha it was a passenger on the Concorde.....)
