One of my heroes as a kid.... the x-15 thing blew my mind back then.
Blue skies, Sir.

Rest in Peace BG Yeager, you had truly put out your hand and touched the face of God.

Rest In Peace, Sir and thank you for your willingness to do what many others have never done! A truly humble Warrior!

RIP General. Yes, what a life. His hunting trips alone make great stories. If you get a chance read his autobio, YEAGER. And he squares away some misconceptions from The Right Stuff.

Now he’s the patron saint of stick-n-rudder men & women.
