I have 2 of Yeager's autobiographical books written a few years ago. His 2nd book, "Press On" gets into his hunting and fishing escapades. When he was at Edwards, for a week vacation, he and his flying buddies would go fishing in little known prime trout ponds in the High Sierras out there taking no more gear with them other than a basic survival kit and have fun living off the land. I used to go backpacking camping in the NY State Catskill Mountains and the High Peak area in the Adirondack Mountains, but I had a little better than just a basic survival kit. I admire the guy just for that reason.

Chuck was an "A-hole" during his career and became ornery during his older years. He thought he was the s@$t because the AF put him on a pedestal. He wasn't very well liked by his enlisted maintainers because he forgot where he came from...an enlisted maintainer. Now Robin Olds, there is a REAL pilot and one hell-of-a commander. "WOLF 1"!
