We lost another legend this week with the passing of Chuck Yeager, first man to break the sound barrier. Also became a "flying ACE" in just one day by shooting down five German planes, in WW2, in his P51.
Funny thing is, he had no interest in planes as a kid, and was not in a plane until age 18.

Another great article on Yeager ...some interesting stats...like he only had a high school diploma (like a lot of us, prior to attending a trade school) and also about his involvement in the Vietnam war.

Here's a video I came across of Chuck Yeager with Dave Letterman in 1982.
