Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "A: There are several streets named after some pilots who just strapped in & went & a few dents & damaged F-104s at NASA hangar fr a pilot who didn't want me to check him out. "It's got a handbook, doesn't it?" I ALWAYS got checked out first. @USAToday #aviation #USAF #airforce… https://t.co/RQl1A4sc9e"

  I remember the anecdotes you speak of from your first book; both the hangar incident and one on the lakebed, if memory serves.

  Who looks at an Ace/Master Test Pilot and says “I don’t need your advice.”?

  Hmm, did those few dents get caused by someone trying to get the overconfident pilot’s attention?

  Seems that the naming committee misinterpreted what “auger in” meant. Thought you only got a street name if you drilled a hole in the ground
