RIP Chuck Yeager (1923-2020)

[Liberty]

Sad news.

 

 

From @VictoriaYeage11:  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.

Arguably, the greatest pilot in history!  Should have been the first one in space.  Cheers Mr. Right Stuff!

R.I.P. Chuck Yeager.

beyond his service and achievements, just his attitude facing the unknown, his serenity when everything goes wrong and him bouncing back after near death, is an inspiration.
