Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "Q: fr @Tom_G_DVM :Did American pilots really start talking like you on the radio in the x-1 days? If true, hilarious! A: Apparently so. Very strange to hear myself over the intercom when I know it wasn't me. Kidding."

  There's something to that @Tom_G_DVM and @GenChuckYeager. Commercial pilots have been known to use a similar slow smooth drawl when making cabin announcements because it's relaxing. Not a pilot but if there are any pilots out there who could confirm or deny...

  This is true and a great compliment.. the same reason NY kid Billy Crystal spoke in an Oklahoma accent because of Mickey Mantle and the reason on Long Island we spoke like country boys because of @CharlieDaniels and Marshal Tucker..
