@Trump! The Socialist destroyer fact
Didn’t have too, Dump is just a sore loser,and his supporters are sucker’s for send him money lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Just can’t wait.
@Trump! The Socialist destroyer fact Ok little Billy time to do your homework.
@Amirouche The Lion of Numidia Ummm did you take your meds yet?
Man had the right stuff.
Thank you for your service to our country, sir.
Great person in service of great country. Rest in peace
I always admired him. He truly had the right stuff. RIP Chuck Yeager.
Fun fact: there’s a scene in The Right Stuff in which two government guys are in that pub where the test pilots hung out. There’s a fellow behind them, sweeping the floor. The government guys are discussing who would be chosen to become astronauts but Yeager – the very best of the test pilots – would not qualify because he never went to college. The guy sweeping up behind them is not an actor – that was the real Chuck Yeager.

RIP General Yeager. You served your country well.
Poncho’s, you are right. He looks just like an old coot that would be in a place like that.

Poncho’s. Thank you – I read the book but it has been a few years. Couldn’t remember the name of that pub.

Oh no………that’s reserved for Rush Limbaugh. Sad.
Chuck Yeager was an awesome man…sad to lose him, but 97 “ain’t bad!”
Not at all
@Drumpf! The Socipath denies facts
…You’re still an Imbecile.
The actual chuck Yeager has a camio in that scene…and you didn’t show him
Delfino Garza…….yeah he was the bum drunk guy..
Sorry to here. The only man I’ve ever wanted too meet. “Punch a hole in the sky” Chuck.
2020 is just the worst year ever.
Sad to hear Mr Yeager is gone, I would have loved to have met him.
Godspeed Gen. Yeager. You will always be a hero to so many pilots.
Who would put a thumbs down on this? A true patriot is gone may he rest in peace
Chuck Yeager: one of the GOOD GUYS.
Thank You Sir For Your Immense Assistance To PAF.
RIP Chuck Yeager The Most Popular/Respected American In Pakistan.
Chuck Yeager had a much better life than the 13 German pilots he shot down to become an “Ace”.
Here’s Joe Scarborough raving on about actor Sam Shepard, when he should have been eulogizing Chuck Yeager, one of the greatest test pilots of our time.
R.I.P. and Godspeed Brig, General Chuck Yeager. “You do what you can for as long as you can, and when you finally can’t, you do the next best thing. You back up but you don’t give up.”
Ironically Yeager outlived the actor portraying him by three years.
Glamorous Glennis will never be able to fly with her favorite Pilot again, but that doesn’t mean she can’t chase after him beyond the clouds.
“Don’t screw the pooch.” Keeping it airborne, sir. You do the same.
