RIP Chuck Yeager 12-7-2020

[ctguy1955]

He was a brave and great guy, many news channels did not even report His death on this day of infamy...
and Chuck went out like the Hero He was.....   RIP  and You and GW will have a lot to discuss....










The Wash DC Air and Space museum has changed

Chucks accomplishment to: "First in Level Flight' as it was already done twice by

a prototype F-86 by George Welsh.    Happy Bottom Riding Club all heard the boom 
twice but no one would report on it, too much was spent on the New "Air Force" program
with a jet that could not even take off by itself.
