Chuck Yeager passed away :-(

If anyone deserves his own topic IMO it is him. WW2 ace including Me-262 kill, evaded capture, flew the X-1 beyond Mach one and every other legendary plane, director of the space program, ex-facebook friend of me (we did have some discussions) and Adviser of the best 1980s flight Sim Chuck Yeager Advance Flight trainer, the best home PC tech could to back then with his lessons (and actually also the software) on cassette tape, these taught me the basics of flying.

RIP Chuck Yeager, not sure how you can have a more richer life.

Hey I found the contents of the Advanced Flight Trainer tapes, it starts with his Bell X-1 experience. He is still the place to go when starting pilot training, for one go talk to the maintenance team and don’t frown them (they are the NCO’s) and learn about systems as much as you can!
