    Definitely an American legend! If you all want a good read, read his autobiography. I read it back in 1985... WOW, the man had no fear. Excellent book!
    RIP Chuck Yeager.

    Man, how ironic that he passed away on Pearl Harbor day!

    I also recommend reading his autobiography. The drop tanks on his p-51 weren't for gas, they were for his balls!

    R.I.P. Mr. Yeager.
