Mike Hammer Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Possibly the greatest pilot of all time, a WWII ace and legendary test pilot who also later flew missions in Vietnam. We are really going to miss men of this quality. Here's a few snaps that he signed for me back in the day. In October '97 50years after he broke the sound barrier, he did it once again in a F-15.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9029117/Americas-greatest-pilot-Chuck-Yeager-person-break-sound-barrier-dies-aged-97.htmlMH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy artillery Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Lost one of my personal heroes yesterday. He was one of the greats even before his test pilot days and only continued to build an enduring legacy. He inspired me to join the Air Force (I retired after 27 years of service).
