On October 14, 1997 as a young Captain I saw General Yeager recreate breaking the sound barrier in the backseat of an F-15 at Edwards Air Force Base CA. Somewhere I’ve got some photos of the event.
It was an incredible experience. He spoke afterwards to the group of people gathered on the tarmac, I remember that West VA drawl as if it were yesterday.
Todays aviators are standing on the shoulders of giants like General Yeager.
“Say Ridley, ya got any Beemans?”
Godspeed General Yeager
