General Chuck Yeager

[Brian]

I have been watching these very long and interesting You Tube videos narrated by Gen Chuck Yeager. (Video from early 1990's)

He will turn 97 years old next February.

Merry Christmas to all of you and Happy New Year!

I met Chuck Yeager while sitting next to him at a military parade for my retiring father at Edwards Airforce Base in the late 60's. As a teenager and owner of a J3, he was more interested in talking flying than the parade. It was quite an honor for me. Thanks for posting these videos.

He passed away yesterday at the age of 97.

He passed away yesterday at the age of 97.

Incredible that he would pass on the 79th anniversary of an the event that so dramatically changed his service in the Army Air Force, work career, and led to so many noteworthy lifetime achievements.
