RIP, Chuck Yeager (1923-2020)...

Personally-speaking, I thought this venerable aviation icon took an eternal, sound barrier-shattering flight into the wild blue yonder years ago. I guess not. Having passed at age 97, Chuck Yeager lived such an amazing life...from going supersonic in 1947, winning a Distinguished Flying Cross in 1949 for doing so, to being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan in 1985. Oh, and he had three flight simulator video games created by Electronic Arts named after him in the late 1980s and early 90s (Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer, Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer 2.0 and Chuck Yeager's Air Combat). May the General rest in peace.
