Had the chance to meet him once eons ago (after he retired but was still active in aviation, which he completely turned his back to in the latter part of his life) and I still vividly remember it.
I guess he might be one a the "happy few", to actually fly the most amazing aircraft humanity will ever build. If we ever return to supersonic flight the pilot will be at best a computer supervisor - no way will he be in charge as Turcat & all have been in the '60s. A truly blessed period.
