Oh, this has to be a dupe. This HAS to be a dupe. Maybe bad tags? Why doesn';t it show up on search? How can we not be worshiping this man? Had to be tough hitting Mach 1 with his huge brass balls etc etc yadda yadda.

Syd Midnight - 2008-06-18 Was just watching an interview with Yeager, about Mach 1. . "Well that was mah job. Ya did what they told ya to do. Whether you could or not, that didn't enter into it."

Syd Midnight - 2008-06-18 "Y'know, you and I are different. I was flyin', you weren't."

Syd Midnight - 2008-06-18 "The Sound barrier was jus' another progrom. Hell I was workin' on 10 test progoms when I was flyin' the X-1."

Syd Midnight - 2008-06-18 Fuck. Tho I do remember an interview from long ago when he was shilling his awesome flight simulator.. they asked him what the best fighter was.. "You take a good plane, you take a good pilot.. then always bet on the good pilot." He'd probably still be scoring kills in a P-51 if they'd let him.
He shot down a jet in a P-51? Fuuuck.

Syd Midnight - 2008-06-18 Oh man, this isn't Mach One.. I done fucked up. I blame PoeTV, because I swear I submitted this all months ago.. but hell it's Chuck Yeager so there ya go.

Was this a straightaway speed test or an aerial dogfight? Chuck deserves better editing than this.

He once held an opponent's wife's hand in a jar of acid. At a party.

There was a demon that lived in the air, and they said whoever challenged him would die.
