General Chuck Yeager,( one of my relatives ) broke the sound barrier in an experimental Bell X-1 aircraft on October 14, 1947. This was filmed on October 14, 2012. At 89 years, boards an F-15 Eagle at Nellis AFB. Chuck is alive and kicking and is currently 96 years old. Personally, I have not had the privilege of ever meeting him. I do come from a long line of Military family. Airforce, Navy, Marines, Army. I joined the Navy right after my 17th birthday in 1973. My two brothers were Army, and my sister was airforce. My dad was both Navy and Airforce.
