RIP Chuck Yeager

First to break the sound barrier. Ace in a day during World War II. Lent his name and likeness to not one but two flight sim games.

RIP to a guy who has The Right Stuff.

Damn.

Growing up in West Virginia, he was one of those few idols all the textbooks gave as examples of famous and important West Virginians. I am sad that one of my childhood idols passed, even if he was forced on me.

RIP to a living legend.

If you've never read his biography it's a great page turner. From WW2 to all his experimental flight work. He was a workhorse of a guy. Humble and truly the ace of everyone. I could fly a cardboard box basically and still kick your ass in the air.
