I heard that Chuck Yeager was SKEEERD of Eric Hartmann.

Is this correct?

Chuck Yeager was violently ill in about 1/2 his combat sorties (ill from fear of the LW?

)...anyway, he quipped the term "Eat banana's, they go down easily and when they come up, its not so unpleasant..." He ground crew used to cringe when he came back from sorties, knowing the Oxy mask was going to have an unpleasant odor within. Yeager eventually was able to over come his air sickness.

Yep, sounds like he was SKEEERD to me.

Are you kidding Hangtime? Rude never goes slow enought to break right, its always "Stay hot" with that one

Chuck Yeager vomited the first time he ever flew in a plane (as a passenger) and felt poorly the first few training flights he took but the guy loved the idea of flying so he stuck with it and eventually became one of the all time legends in flight.

Y

Yeager skeered? Dunno, guy be crazy not to have fear but I doubt he was skeered of any little blond hair blue eyed baby faced mommas boy
