    Fr It is w/ profound sorrow, I must tell you that my life love General Chuck Yeager passed just before 9pm ET. An incredible life well lived, America’s greatest Pilot, & a legacy of strength, adventure, & patriotism will be remembered forever.

    Read Yeager - it's there

    I just watched your F-104 spin and ejection. Beyond the standard boldface for spin recovery, what flight maneuvers did you attempt during that insane free fall? Thank you for paving the way for us future aviators. Volabamus Volamus
