'Flying is flying. You can't add a lot to it,' Yeager said. Right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I have met Gen Chuck Yeager many times during my 40 years in aerospace. He was a speaker at our management club dinners several times and also a consultant for our company. He is a true gentleman and hero in every sense of the word. Read his book "YEAGER", it is a pretty good read too. I like him as a sportsman too....gotta like anyone who likes to hunt and fish as much as he does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
