Yes. Pretty full of himself. I believe they stopped taking him on flights after he became a bit of a boar.

Yes he was unfairly grounded but, never one to wallow for long, he rallied, became an engineer and rooted out many aircraft design faults.

@graeme-ogg Yes correct Graeme; he took that up as a hobby when he retired to the countryside in small home beside the sea; his handle was "Cottage Ham".

Maybe Steve; Orville was a rebel.  He often used to snort that he didn't need no education or thought control.........
