I've just heard that Eric "Winkle" Brown had died, aged 97. This chap has never received the recognition he deserves, a truly great test pilot and an amazing career.
He holds the record (by a mile) for the most aircraft carrier landing at well over 2,000 and the record for the most different types of planes flown at 450ish.
If you're interested in flying then I would highly recommend his story "Wings on my sleeve"
Where are guys of this calibre now?
