'America's greatest Pilot' Chuck Yeager, first person to break sound barrier, dies at 97 (msn.com)

My dad kind of idolized Mr. Yeager, and it's easy to see why. He outlived dad on both ends, and did a lot. In particular, he kept on flying, long into "old age" that wasn't that old for him, at least for a while.

R I P.

Chuck Yeager, the first person to break the sound barrier and one of the U.S. Air Force's most decorated test pilots, died Monday. He was 97.

Yeager's death was announced on his official Twitter account in a tweet attributed to his wife Victoria Scott D'Angelo.

"It is w/ profound sorrow, I must tell you that my life love General Chuck Yeager passed just before 9pm ET," the tweet said. "An incredible life well lived, America’s greatest Pilot, & a legacy of strength, adventure, & patriotism will be remembered forever."
