Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "Q fr @BellX1A General, always wondered how many flight hrs you've accumulated during your incredible flying career? A: Am accumulating. Airline pilot asked me that. Me: "I don't know. Maybe 10000 hrs." Him: "THat's ALL?" Me: I did all my own landings. :-) @HISTORY @AF

  Simply amazing ! But I wonder how many of those hours were on auto pilot for that guy? I imagine you weren't flying on auto pilot very often?

  Wouldn’t most airline pilots be on autopilot for 80% the time

  In all fairness, there were a few of those landings where you didn't bother with the plane.

  Am I correct, General, that there are hours and then there are hours? An hour in combat, or an hour in the X-1, is a bit different than an hour on the LAX to JFK run. No disrespect to airline pilots intended.
