Chuck Yeager - 89 And Still Flying
USA Today has a nice little piece on Chuck Yeager, talking about breaking the sound barrier on the 14th Oct 1947. On the 15th Oct 2012, the USAF took Chuck up in an F15, where he broke the sound barrier again, and laid down a pretty good sonic boom over Edwards Air Force Base.
Chuck lives in Grass Valley California, still flies a tail dragger, and the plates on his old pickup say it all - BELL X1.
