RIP General Chuck Yeager

Wow. This year certainly keeps on getting worse.

 

To be honest I thought he died years ago. Now I find out he wasn't dead...but is now.

A true American hero. His autobiography was fascinating.

RIP, General.

[Miranda]

yeah this year gets worse as it goes...

 

I have stood under the Glamorous Glennis many times.

it is a tiny aircraft.  I did not really understand much about it or why it was on display.

I learned.  Much about the craft and marveled at Chuck Yeager's abilities.

 

I hoped I might lead such a life full of many significant events

brought to positive conclusions.

well... someone has to play second fiddle.

 

I think him heroic.

I hope there is a heaven.

I hope he is there.

 

damn.

 

damn

damn

One of the things about getting older is watching those around us depart.

 

Like Miranda said, I hoped I might lead such a life full of many significant events brought to positive conclusions.

 

In so many ways, he exemplified what it means to be an American. 

 

It seems that heaven must have needed a test pilot so they got the best.

 

God Speed

Hell of a man. Hell of a life. Hell of an example for all of us. 

 

Well played sir. Very well played.
