Yeager's wife, Victoria, shared the news on Twitter, writing: "It is w/ profound sorrow, I must tell you that my life love General Chuck Yeager passed just before 9pm ET.  An incredible life well lived, America's greatest Pilot, & a legacy of strength, adventure, & patriotism will be remembered forever."

First guy to break it in level flight.

This guy went from E-1 to O-7.  Pretty impressive.  He was a commentor and pilot at a few airshows I went to in the mid 90s.  Bud Anderson flew at these airshows as well.
