Chuck Yeager, first man to break the sound barrier (who unfortunately passed last year), responds to question about UFOs
In "The Right Stuff," Wolfe claims that the stereotypical pilot/ATC voice originated from other pilots mimicking West Virginian Chuck Yeager's distinctive voice. Is this correct?

F-20 Tigershark - endorsed by Chuck Yeager and many other pilots, but the F-16’s development ended up sidelining this beautiful and powerful fighter jet. Would be great to see this beauty live a full life on DCS though.

Video I took at the 2017 Yeager Airport airshow. What I wouldn't give for another one this year. Admission was free both years and I got to sit in the cockpits of some of the aircraft. I have other pictures if anyone wants to see them. Our own Chuck Yeager attended the 2018 show. v.redd.it/58l25docvsw61

How much do you know about Chuck Yeager?
I just found out Chuck Yeager, the first person to break the sound barrier, passed away today at 97. I loved learning about aviation growing up, especially of pioneers who broke new ground in aeronautics. I really enjoyed learning about his life and career and wanted to see what other people remember about him.
