He once flew his plane ''through a thunderstorm'' just to see what it was like, and commented afterwards that he was lucky to get away with it and wouldn't do it again unless ordered to. When he was killed, he wasn't even properly shot down: he was fatally wounded in the chest and went on to ''land his plane'' with only light damage, before dying in his seat.
