Very sad news. Suddenly astronauts are dying if old age! RIP Scott.
Go to WIX and post “What’s Chuck Yeager like?” and wait for the replies.
You’re right. WIX has a right downer on Chuck as well.
Here’s an obscure, thread-hijacking question:
I’m doing an article on the Northrop X-4 Bantam for Air & Space Smithsonian and am looking for quotable material by any test pilot who flew it. The only one I’ve found so far is a dubious one in Chuck Yeager’s autobiography. Does anybody know of another such quote is any of the books recommended above?
Best be careful with your article if you imply someone has been telling porkies.
They broke in to drive over and flatten animals!!!!! Scumbags
Fair point.
Most of the US aviation community have a downer on Yeager. Probably on account of him being an asshole.
Fair enough! I’ll have to re-read is book. I must be missing something!
And you can’t read Bud’s without reading Chuck’s. Still don’t know why stepwilk has downer on Chuck.
……and you’re not bothered that the chapel of rest gets demolished ?
Errr… So what’s wrong with “Yeager”??????
It seems to me that if they couldn’t use any of the cliches mentioned on this thread they just wouldn’t have a story, and they would just be left with the quiet crewman sitting alone on the grass writing, or reading poetry.
And don’t forget. The quiet intellectual poet is an Irish American boy (probably a red head) who quotes Y B Yeats with the background music of “Danny Boy” to which the whole crew then join in.
Must have been about to marry a right dragon if he’d rather go to prison than own up to a mistake.

Includes Lancaster NX611 flying! (But many years ago)
Appropriate surname! Indeed funny story about the cuppa!
RIP.
