An Aviation Pioneer has 'Passed'
« on: December 08, 2020, 07:40:33 PM »
Yesterday on the 7th December, Chuck Yeager passed away at the age of 97. Remembered by many as the first person to break the sound barrier, he was one of the true greats of the aviation world and will be greatly missed. Enjoy your new wings Chuck...you've earned them!

RIP Chuck Yeager. 

Also, my oldest brother passed away yesterday of kidney failure.  Scott was 62, and worked as a C&C programmer for Boeing and other aircraft parts.  RIP bro.   :'(
