General Chuck Yeager Spars w/ Jim Clash on Adventurer

[16vr6]

Congrats. You apparently know more about me than you do Charles.

[rarebear14]

I see a lot of spite and chagrin in the comments, there were only a few pilots

who dared to strap their fanny in a rocketplane, Bob Hoover was one of them.

They earned peanuts in the airforce and

Chuck did not benefit for his Mach1 flight

it took him ages to become major.

Give the guy the respect he deserves.

p.s. coming out of an inverted spin in the X1a is still unbelievable

Yankee bigotry and stupidity doesn't offend me it just makes me laugh .

Bless You Chuck

Chuck Yeager was the first person to break the sound barrier in level flight and he was the first person to have his trans-sonic speed verified by third party instrumentation. Many pilots have claimed that they broke the sound barrier before Chuck Yeager while diving their aircraft. However due to the many variables involved with super sonic flight it is nearly impossible to recreate the scenarios presented by the claimants.

[jimclash]

@TheWizardTrembyle I have heard similar from many people. I wish I'd asked Chuck about that, in retrospect ,to see what he would have said.

[TheWizardTrembyle]

@jimclash I have no doubt Chuck believes he was the first. Asking him a question like that probably would have pissed him off.

[16vr6]

Sorry Chucky Boy, you've fooled many in your time, but not me.

@16vr6 Next time Pull the Cock out of you mouth before you make such a gay comment poser.  I'm gonna bet you you've never flown anything more than a Cessna 182.

[16vr6]

@RGpranin Cock was out at time. And actually, I've never soloed in anything more than a 172...which misses the point. Charles prods around betting on peoples patriotism for attention(which he charges for by the way) If you do even a little research, you'll find him to be totally full of BS. I'll give you a few starting points: 1.Quality of German pilots he shot down. 2. Injured while in the X-1(can't give back-up pilot all the glory) 3. An F-86 went supersonic before X-1. 4. Mig-15's CAN'T dive!

[BeLikeWater1000]

@16vr6 your a dumb ass....the german pilots he went up against were top notch ur a joke and u shouldnt be commenting here

[16vr6]

@BeLikeWater1000 Well gee, you sure put me in my place. Please define "top notch". If it means pilot bordering on Hitler youth status with single-digit flight hours, I concede.

[BeLikeWater1000]

@16vr6 cant believe your that ignorant at 43 years old. Its a fact the germans had the most experienced fighter pilots cuz they sent them on countless missions. Their aces racked up dozens more kills than our aces. (who topped out at around 25) Go drive ur kraut-wagon and quit trollin.

Chuck #1 !

Chuck Yeager is the best, and so was his wife. Rest in Peace, Glennis. 

[MajSolo]

He he, professionals up there working the problem testing testing, and then the MACH meter comes off the scale , what a dissapointment the aircraft didn't misbehave or blew up so that Chuck finally could get to work and use his skills, no, there was nothing, all he could do is sit there and watch the meter come off the scale, what a huge dissapointment! LOL he has some humor....

[HEMIdoctor]

god bless gen yeager 

[LCPStud]

Yawn

[cshubs]

I loved his cameo in The Right Stuff with Jeff Goldblum and Harry Shearer. It was perfect. The real Yeager looking over their shoulders and offering a drink while they talked about the desire for people with college degrees.

[vomit49894]
