Legendary airman Chuck Yeager — the first pilot in history confirmed to break the sound barrier — died Monday, his wife announced. He was 97.
“It is w/ profound sorrow, I must tell you that my life love General Chuck Yeager passed just before 9pm ET,” Victoria Yeager wrote on her husband’s verified Twitter account.
RIP Col. Yeager! This is a passing breed of man, and the dying of a golden age of American greatness. Thanks to our liberal politicians who stole our vision of a space age in favor of funding a better future on earth, we now have a generation of stupid bastards that cannot even build a kitchen toaster. Fuck politicians!

ReplyDeleteBuild a toaster! Hell we have a generation that wonders were the bread went when the toast pops up.

ReplyDeleteLook around and please tell me who is their replacements?
Sure he was a blast to party with back in the test flight days, when you didn’t know if this would be your last ride.
RIP Sir,

I'm from WV . Chuck Yeager was our only hero. All of our Goverors went to jail when I was young.
ReplyDeleteSadly, he suffered a massive stroke some weeks ago, and never regained consciousness afterwards. I'd been expecting this news for some time.
