Legendary test pilot, Chuck Yeager, dead at 97

[Danke]

I also had Pelosi on one of my flights, first class of course.

And 4 armed guards to protect her.

I'm guessing the knob didn't know who he was.

Probably so. Also, knowing you were flying, Chuck probably wanted a seat closer to the tail.

Still cheaper than a personal G650.

It can't be that hard to handle if even a kweer like Tom Cruise flies one.

A real priq. Was on my carrier for filming TG.

For a week I could not fly, painful to cough, sneeze or raise my arms. When I got back into the cockpit, painful to lift myself in and out for a while.

But I have always been an essential worker since university. Unlike most here.
