RIP Chuck Yeager "America's Greatest Pilot"

[great_chandel]

Among other things, he was the first pilot to ever break the sound barrier. A famed World War II pilot, he reportedly shot down 4 enemy planes -- twice in one day! He won numerous awards. His story was told in the movie "The Right Stuff" in 1983. Chuck was 97.
