It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

I read All The Right Stuff. Those test pilots were half crazy. After they flew they would hit the bar and have a few drinks. I could see why. Trying to break the sound barrier.

God Speed, Chuck..
One of the more memorable moments of my 30 year military aviation career was meeting General Yeager and shaking his hand.
About 15 years ago I had the opportunity to take Mr. Yeager and Gary Loomis out fishing a few times, the man loved the outdoors and sure loved fishing.. Downright cool dude with some amazing stories! If you look up brass balls in the dictionary, Chuck Yeager defines it...
