The Right Stuff....Chuck Yeager dies at 97

Most Test Pilots never dreamed of living to be 97. Living to be 30 was difficult enough. Yeager was the first to break the sound barrier but was also the most admired by his peers

Yeager was the pilot other pilots emulated.

Being a test pilot was a suicide mission. The jets at that time were highly experimental and the pilots were trying to figure out the physics of jet flight.
