The Right Stuff

Yeah but pretty enough to be played by Sam Shepard in the movie. Plus he still has that fighter pilot gleam in his eye even at 89!  

Not sure how much dramatic license Tom Wolfe took, he is known for his incredible research but still has to make a story so who knows, but its hard to tell if it was Yeager the system took a pass on - or the other way around. In any case I think its pretty clear where Tom Wolfe comes down on that one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqPkIgBqMCY

Damn, that is one fine movie.

Chuck Yeager was one stud duck, I tip my hat to you sir. 

That was the rocket sled, bunch too, right? Can you imagine that? 89, YUP a WHOLE lot of the right stuff. Probably 109, without that.

Yahoo General Yeager, my Hero!!

Gave us, everything he had...

Rest well Regards

That was one tough hombre! Won’t be forgotten in the history books.

Brave is when you are scared and do it anyway , He was not scared.
