Wiki: "A shy child, Stewart spent much of his after school time in the basement working on model airplanes, mechanical drawing, and chemistry — all with a dream of going into aviation. But he abandoned visions of being a pilot when his father insisted that instead of the Naval Academy he attend Princeton University."
I like how he acts like it's all easy. What balls.
"yeah, I rolled it. No big deal."
Do they make test pilots like this anymore? The kind who are just like: "Yeah, it looks like this shit is within the technical tolerances of the plane, so fuck it...I'll do it. Multiple times."
For every test pilot like this there were probably 10 who died, modern regulations probably prevent them from allowing test pilots to engage in constant badass stunts until only the best few are left, like back in the 50s.
