At 19, lied to United and said he was 21. Claimed to have 1500 hours.

Magically "discovers" he's two years "younger" (re: family Bible inscription) when he's about to hit 60. Errrr, 58.

Claims to have "....more than 50,000 hours and more turbine time than any other pilot.

Made friends with Bill Lear, and pushed the Lear to Hollywood. Gets him in the circles of Sinatra, Deano, etc.

Apparently was flying the Lear camera plane for the unauthorized GE promotional film shoot that resulted in the midair of the XB-70 and F-104.

Wikipedia page proudly proclaims how he was one of "the first" to cross the picket line.

Revered by Hollywood celebrities and industry big wigs.

Despised by anyone who knows better.
