I’m sure someone will call him a racist and complain about honoring him.
the left loves to find something in your past to discredit all of the good you did.
Yep, a lot [but not most] of NY Times readers, go watch and laugh at their comments here:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/07/us/chuck-yeager-dead.html
Pretty sure Trump will call him a loser.
LEGEND!
Test Pilot dies from old age!! God Speed Chuck Yeager!
Back when America was great; a mere 70 years later, America is not so great. By the end of the century, America will be a substandard place to live. O’well.
A Man. 🤠
Actually, several others unofficially broke the “sound barrier” prior to Yeager but neither they or their aircraft survived.
@BOB BRADLY Of course that was a Soviet made Scud… Iraqi Scuds tumbled in sub-sonic.
Nothing impressive about working with a bloated military budget. The real impressive people are the ones slaving behind the scenes to make these accomplishments possible.
Rest In Peace Mr. Yeager. Thank you for your service
His eyesight was much better than most …and one of reasons why he was such a skilled pilot and survived WW 2 as a combat pilot. He saw the enemy before they saw him! Huge advantage to have and he exploited it. He did get shot down in WW 2 and was rescued by French Resistance…so he owed his life to them. Would like to know name of the German pilot who shot down Chuck Yeager….incredible feat!
RIP
Amazing. RIP sir
Is Japan attacking right now ? In 2020
RIP amazing how many famous people have died in 2020
Much lukk Chuck
RIP Chuck. American hero.
RIP Chuck; you will always be honored, admired and remembered. My regards go to the whole family.
“I’m no hero!” I was only an official member of that LEATHER BALLS GENERATION. That’s all.
Thanks Commander!
Chuck Yeager , American Hero ! RIP
RIP Chuck Yeager
He died after taking the trial vaccine. So sad.
According to Trumpy boy….Yeager would have been a “sucker and a loser” .
Why didn’t he get to go to the moon.
Lack of post-secondary education.
Now people love criminals
We see you clearly NWO…..
Keep using cash folks!
So glad and happy that more and more folks are awakening to the evil sham being caused by a small group of self entitled despots!
Plandemic. Scamdemic.
CV = cabal FAKE bio-weapon.
911= cabal “pearl harbor” type galvanizing attack per PNAC.
We have a criminal, corrupt, immoral and deceitful monetary system.
It is astounding that we continue to allow central banks and the fed to exist. They have always been a secretive, crooked and in equitable operation.
There is overwhelming evidence we’ve been lied to and deceived for millennia on a grand scale about almost everything by a group of greedy, dysfunctional, entitled, “elites,” 13 families, council of 300 et al.
A huge tapestry of deceit, greed & secrecy, to control and keep the true nature of humanity from ourselves, our history, true origin, destroy our pineal gland and keep us tied to debt, cause constant wars, confusion and tension for them to get more wealth, control and power over us until we and our descendants are eternally enslaved in this NWO Luciferian web.
From the Annunaki, Adamu, even our redacted, edited and corrupt bible, nibiru, monoatomic gold, religion, wars, Lincoln, Jackson, Garfield, JFK, the federal reserve, USS Liberty, giant skeletons, abduction/disappearances, pedophilia, PNAC, COFR, Tri Lat Comm to 911 and now the war on “terror.” The best way we can support our troops is by bringing them home now. Let’s stop battling enemies of the fed and start helping folks and create heaven on earth as we should.
Let’s KRUSH da kabal!

What an inspiration. With all he went through and all the risks he took, it’s amazing he made it past 30. Cheers to a life well lived, Chuck
And after all was said and done, he was never considered to have ‘the right stuff’ for space.
Thats nice now stop trying to avoid coverage on dominion and biden election fraud.
they sure don’t make em like they used to
I am sure 90 years of living will be a wish soon or later. I personally doubt that i can make it
What a legend
TRUE AMERICAN 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪
☆☆☆☆☆@100%♡♡♡
Thank you NBC for doing something PATRIOTIC 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
RIP my friend. 💪💪💪💪
You Sir are definitely my hero. You will always be my role model. Chuck Yeager and Bob Hoover are once again together tearing up the skies!! R.I.P . Hawk out!!
I was fortunate to have grown up with the WWII guys running things. Now we have people who have forgotten what it was all for because they cheated their way out of serving just as their family members did. Chuck was my hero long before I knew his name. My dad was Army Air Corps during WWII.
Chuck Yeager was my hero.
What a loss, America has lost a real hero. RIP you will be remembered and have a big page in history.
R I P
All this is great but what were his/her/their/zee/zur personal pronouns? Also, was he woke? He was an old white man and probably said the N word. We should be cautious about honoring him.
is that joke? or are you that ignorant that you think being woke is about judging other people cause ill tell you the most magnificient people that do the most good on this planet DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS THEY BETTER THEMSELVES TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE.
@ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノNo, it’s not a joke. Being woke has nothing to do with reality but rather is the creation of the woke person’s imagination. In that world, the white people are always at fault and always keep people of color down. Woke people aren’t much good and the world could get along better without them..
All the good ones man. All the good ones going at once😭😭😭😭😭

Now when we look up you can always see Chuck. One of the last of the “TRUE” Airmen.
Thank you for your service Sir! Very sad. I’m sorry for your loss. My condolences and prayers. RIP Sir
*_For Chuck:_*
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth…
and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds,
and done a hundred things you have not dreamed of –
wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence…
Hovering there I’ve chased the shouting wind along
and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.
_Up, up_ the long delirious burning blue…
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights – with easy grace –
where never lark, or even _eagle_ flew;
and while with silent, lifting mind, I’ve trod
the high untrespassed sanctity of space,
put out my hand…and touched the face of God.”
_”High Flight” by John Gillespie Magee, Jr._

I passed the sound barrier when I back talked my mom when I was five. I still have nightmares.
Wow!!! How impressive and humble, and he Lived a good long life.
Sweet and beatiful story- his life was filled with so much talent and knowledge
Rest In Peace Mr. and my condolence for your family.
A true American hero. RIP.
List maintains by aisha modhi family Arnald family by fruits food
He was the true “Man of Steel”. RIP Mr. Yeager.
And yes, he was from rural southern West Virginia, a state ridiculed by most media, and the state that voted for Trump more than any other state at 70%.
RIP @ 343 m / s
And the man was tough as rawhide. According to legend, Yeager was flying another experimental plane when a malfunction forced him to eject. Unfortunately, the ejection didn’t go as planned and he suffered sever burns to his body and face. When he walked (of course) to the approaching rescue crew after safely parachuting, he was so badly burned — skin literally hanging from him — that one of the rescue crew actually upchucked. But Yeager didn’t even flinch. Just another day at the office. This scene was represented in “The Right Stuff” but, of course, they didn’t show how badly burned he was in the actual incident.
From France :
We all need examples, models, extraordinary common people to refere to…vous êtes éternel Monsieur !
God bless, God speed, General Yeager.
So, another aviation legend has closed his final flight plan!
Check Six, General Yeager!
What an iconic pioneer. They broke the mold after CY was born. He was fearless with more of the right stuff than most.
A true hero of heroes 👍🏼🙏🏽🇺🇸
Blue sky, no limits…. Hail to the hero… from France.
Rest In Peace! I know it’s unavoidable but sad to see so many historical Americans passing on. 🙏🏻❤️
RIP and blue sky…….. supersonic
Rest in peace air God now you’re with the angels
RIP💐
Sad news …it is funny , in the movie he was on it as a specialist …. specialist of broom . very sad news , rip Sir
We throw around the term hero, but the General was the real deal.
2:14 “the right place to right time” I hope you stay there every time
Long before my time but I heard of him at a young age he was a hero to the country he was from my home town in west Virginia RIP my friend you had a great live down here god is waiting for you when you get there 🙏 ❤

Jesus Christ saves from sin.
Romans 3: 23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Hebrews 9: 27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Isaiah 64: 6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Revelation 21: 8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Romans 5: 8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
John 3: 16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 14: 6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Romans 10: 9-10.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Jesus said John 5: 24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
1John 5: 10-13
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Ephesians 2: 8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 8: 1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 15: 3-4
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
2 Corinthians 5: 21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

“There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots,” says an old aviation maxim. He was one of the very few old, bold pilots. RIP sir.
