Pilot Chuck Yeager Dies at 97, Had 'The Right Stuff' and Then Some
- softbiz 6y agoA great hero. I encourage anyone to read Chuck Yeager's autobiography. Besides breaking the sound barrier, he was a WW2 ace, and later flew fighter missions in Vietnam War after his test pilot days.
- olivermarks 6y agoAlso Tom wolfe's hagiography 'the right stuff' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Right_Stuff_(book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Right_Stuff_(book)
- Animats 6y agoOne of the greats. A long career of high-risk flying, and he lived to 97.
- hackeraccount 6y agoThere are old pilots and there are bold pilots but no old bold pilots.* *except Yeager.
