>My thoughts on hiring a test pilot for the first flight.

I was a paratrooper at 17. I boxed for more than 10 years until I was 
over 40. And, I was immortal until I was 50 but then something 
happened...

I think that it has something to do with saying: "He that eateth of 
the fruit of the tree of truth and knowledge, he shall surely die.". 
In other words, I just kept going to school until I realized just how 
mortal I am.

At 25, I would have test flown the airplane blindfolded. At my age, I 
would hire a test pilot.
