Personally, I wish he'd learn to keep his trap shut and just finish the
good ride life has given him.

This (latest) incident has only served to reinforce what I think about him.
I would not go across the street to hear him speak, and did not, while he
was speaking at OSH.

Respect has to be earned, every day we are on this spaceship we call Earth.
Yeager had respect at one time, but in my eyes, he has failed to keep it.

Here we have two men, at one time, perhaps two of the finest pilots in the
program.

Fast forward to present time. Crossfield has had many people (in this group
even) saying what a good and genuine person he always seemed to be.

Then there is Yeger. Which one of them would you rather be compared to?

That says it all, IMHO.
