RIP Chuck Yeager

Breaker of sound barriers...@ the ripe old age of 97.

 

Dude did it with broken ribs, too. A racer of the skies.

 

RIP General

 

The Right Stuff.

RIP.

 

Godspeed Chuck Yeager. Thank you for teaching us to go fast and take chances.

 

Rip General.

 

True American Badass. His autobiography is excellent.

 

Died on Dec 7th......
Appropriate even in death.

What he witnessed in his lifetime, will never be experienced by people such as us.

 

RIP sir. A real badass.

 

Ah shucks, I'm all out of Beemans, can I borrow a stick? WWII, Korea, rocket planes....the quintessential right stuff. RIP.

 

RIP Sir.....thank you for your service to America.

 

Damn.
True hero.

Broken ribs?

If only.

The fucker broke the barrier with a broken collar bone!


His auto-biography is a must read!

 

True Legend....RIP

 

RIP

 

Godspeed, sir. Ceiling and visibility unlimited.

 

^^all of the above^^ RIP

 

All kidding asides, I carry a pack of Beemans's in every one of my back packs for good luck. He spoke at my school ages ago and I was more star struck by him than any sports or movie personality that I may ever meet. Legend isn't a strong enough word.

 

One truely fearless guy who is an American hero.
Get up there Chuck and show those celestial wimps how it's done.

RIP.....God speed. !!

 

Having been in the aerospace biz for a while, I've been fortunate enough to get to meet and/or hear speak a large number of amazing (and occasionally famous) folks. Even got to work with a few. Unfortunately, never crossed paths with Gen. Yeager. Too bad, as he was a big hero of mine and occasional inspiration.

I remember reading about him still flying F-15s at an advanced age. Seems a bit off to say "rest in peace" about somebody like that, but RIP anyhow...
