27 Time World Champions Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 WE really didn't need this right now. These people are becoming far too scarce. Chuck Yeager, the first man to break the sound barrier, dead at 97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfMan Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 He had a full life and made it to 97. Declining health, he’s earned and deserves his eternal peace. Godspeed Chuck Yeager, you made a difference in this world and forever shall be a true American hero! May the first Starship be named after you.

ginger Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 He was a hero. "That's Chuck Yeager!" gushed my dad...couldn't wait to explain all of that to us... it wasn't his movie cameo's, it was something else...like ABC Wide World of Sports...maybe the Olympics...oh damn I'm that good...the archbishop of Bobsledding Lake Placid NY...click on the link for the story.

ginger Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Simpler times when the family would sit around the TV on Saturday afternoons to watch ABC Wide World of Sports. My dad would make us vanilla cokes with a cherry and mom served hors d'oeuvres...sweet and sour meatballs...yum...https://images.app.goo.gl/UFCTsQvuBvJpehsX7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 I tried to find footage of Chuck Yeager from that...^^^I also think he did something on Battle of the Sexes back in the 70's too. I didn't find anything though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
