Watched the video you posted above punka, pure comedy, Chuck doesn't let the facts spoil a good story.

He never flew the NF-104 forty times as he states, he crashed it on his forth flight, the real story of his involvement in the program is told by the project test pilot in this link, read all the chapters. Not a glowing testament as to Chucks abilities.

NF104 | Birth of a Spaceplane

Neil Armstrong has a completely different story to Chuck about getting bogged in the the T-33 on the lake, who is one to believe, Neil or Chuck? Chuck might like to explain how it was that an air force truck with towing equipment was waiting near by.

I'll send you a PM with the story.
