Yeah, he flew one of our F-15s back in '83ish (Luke AFB). He was nice to chat with...

FYI
Brig Gen Robert Cardenas, who piloted the B-29 which took aloft Yeagers X-1, is the last living member of the immediate team involved. He turned 100 years old in March 2020.

15 years ago he would have collected some 10 pages within his goodbye-thread.
Such lengthy threads are now reserved for guitar players, actors, sports figures etc.

Sad how times are changing.
This is mostly due to two things. SimHQ 15 years ago was a lot busier/active than it is now and younger generations aren't nearly as familiar (if at all) with Chuck Yeager as prior generations.
