Or Bob Hoover or Duane Cole...

Hoover was Yeager's chase pilot on the X-1 program. He is considered by many to be the best pilot ever. He has performed spectacular airshow routines for decades. Duane Cole finally quit flying airshows a few years ago when he could no longer get insurance (Hoover is having the same problem this year). Cole was over 80 when he hung it up.
