Chuck Yaeger died at 97. Quite an age especially considering his many brushes with death.
I've seen so many people say this in reaction to his death, but you've got to admit that ninety seven years is an incredibly good run.RIP
2020 sucks
Especially someone whose body has taken a lot of forceI've seen so many people say this in reaction to his death, but you've got to admit that ninety seven years is an incredibly good run.
Wasn't the main reason he got remembered in the mid-to-late-80's the fact he appeared in commercials(AC Delco batteries, IIRC)? He got rich because of it as well.And to think that by the time I was a kid, the only thing anybody remembered was "He broke the sound barrier."
Gotta give him especial props to this: upon learning that he'd been genderbent into a magical girl for Strike Witches, Yeager reportedly asked of his alternate self: "Does she have the biggest rack?"
Did he ever meet Eric 'Winkle' Brown, because goddamn, I can imagine the stories those two would swap.
Rip you fantastic bastard
