Wally Funk : (4)

" I know that my body and my mind can take anything that any space outfit wants to give me – high altitude chamber test, which is fine; centrifuge test, which I know I can do five and six G’s. These things are easy for me. " - Wally Funk

" I can take anything. You can whip me and it won’t bother me. " - Wally Funk

" Well, ‘aerospace’ was really not a name in my young life. Flying airplanes was. And I got my first try at flying – just pure flying – by flying my ‘Superman’ cape off my daddy’s barn when I was about 5 years old. " - Wally Funk

" I went on to Oklahoma State University, who was the best flight school in the United States at that time from the mid ’50s on to the ’70s. " - Wally Funk
