    Re: OT: Chuck Yeager approaches 90

    I saw him speek at an Auto Show in San Jose a few years back
    Got there way early to get a good seat.Which I did.
    He came out dressed in a jacket and Bollo tie.Had a pair of fancy slacks on too.
    What made me chuckle was he had on a pair of spit shined flying boots!

    I was impressed with the man, to say the least.

    He was kind enough to sign a book I had brought with me.
    He even personalized it by asking my name!

    Say what you will.The man is a legend.

    They broke to mold after he was cast.

      Send him a Facebook invite.

      You will be amazed at how active he still is. He posts his appearances and a few stories often.

        That's his wife on FB not the general. Surprised about how anti air race they are.

          IMOP he never did fit into the air race scene like "Bud" Anderson or "Bob" Hoover.
