Are you predicting his death? JK, but you need to change that because I was thinking I lost a week somewhere... ;)

He was truly "The Right Stuff" and would have made an excellent astronaut had he been chosen... :) RIP General Yeager, 97... :(

In a movie meant to showcase the early days of the space program; those sequences showing Yeager and the Bell X-1 were always my favorites.

RIP General Yeager.
