He disparaged Halladay and mocked his decision to take up flying planes as a hobby. “Weee! Weee!” Felger said, mocking Halladay. “Yeah, man, look at the G-force on this! I’m Maverick [from Top Gun]. Yeah, man, look at this, it’s so cool! And you die. Splat. And it’s over. So you’re that guy? You have to do that?
