A true and real HERO!

I recall a story 10 years ago or so that I read.
An elderly gent was seated in first class on a long delayed flight.
He sees an enlisted man, very tired headed to a middle seat WAY in the back.
The elderly gent stands up and gives his first class seat to the soldier and walks to the back of the plane taking the soldiers middle seat.
At the end of the flight, the attendant tells the soldier the elderly man's name from the passenger manifest.

Chuck Yeager.

HERO.

May God Bless and Favor him.

Marty

Same here. As a kid, I built models of the x-series planes (if you can call them that). He was definitely someone you could aspire to be like.

Same here Jerry. The X-15 was my favorite model. And I just re-watched The Right Stuff a week before Yeager?s death was announced. Sam Shepard did the ?cool? thing so well!
Yeager has been a hero of mine since I was a kid.

and every commercial airline pilot out there did their best to imitate his "silky smooth" voice of confidence:
