In addition to setting several speed and altitude records and testing several experimental aircraft, Chuck Yaeger also served in the US Air Force for over 30 years and fought in multiple wars, becoming one of the most distinguished ace pilots in history. He was 97, and may he rest in peace.

97 is a pretty good run, especially in that line of work.

Mildly interesting: Chuck Yeager was one of the 11 famous WW2 ace pilots to later be immortalized with a cute anime girl based on him in the Strike Witches anime franchise. He was the only one of the 11 who was still alive to see it happen and was made aware of the franchise's tribute to him, but whether he liked it or approved of it has never been documented.

Lol

He probably laughed it off and thought "damn Japanese had to get one last shot at me in the end" or something like that.

A game named for him was pretty cutting edge at the time.

I've heard of that game, but I've never played it. It definitely looks good for its time.
