Brig Gen Chuck Yeager passed Away, RIP

[Raider 21]

Please don't call me a sir. I'm younger than you probably.

Bro, dude, Itachi, the guy who I hate/love or whatever non-insulting word you have, will do.

I am in my 20s.

Cheers

 

[Itachi]

I am in my 20s.

Cheers

I won't divulge my age but I'm younger.

 

[The Raven]

I won't divulge my age but I'm younger.

That's abundantly clear.

 

[Itachi]

That's abundantly clear.

Yet I am not the one who can't make an actual factual argument.

I can be the devil's advocate if I wanted to be and win against the level of debate I see on PDF. But then again, I'll hold true to my words and stop posting on this thread.

 

[Black.Mamba]

If you want to behave and compare yourself with those who celebrate the death of Pakistanis and Muslims, be my guest, makes you as low as them. Clearly, you haven't learned anything from your religion ... or maybe you have.

This itachi guy is most likely either a false flagger or a paid propagandist. You can read a few of his posts on other threads and you can have an idea regarding his so called "morality" , "freedom of speech" and the line he tows (patterns are quite evident)

@raider21 A job well done for calling him out

The man just died and all you can do is score points?

Great to see how you view things.

Why are you so shocked? Look where he is from, it would have shocked me, if he had said otherwise.
Gen. Yeager, you were a legend. Your memory will live on long after you are gone. A true US patriot, and a friend and admirer of PAF. RIP, Sir.

Chuck Yeager, lived a very long and note worthy life and was a mighty warrior. Guess, Yeager would be the same as Jager? Thus he would be a hunter of the hunter peoples. Perhaps he was descended from that guy from the movie 10,000 BC. The one who threw the white spear, killed the albino wizard, hooked up with the blue eyed hottie and whose people became warriors. In that movie the white spear and his people were originally all hunters. Perhaps Jagers, Hunters, Yeagers or people of their same bloodline are descendents of the people who destroyed those white hair survivors of Atlantis. Chuck did have blue eyes, was named Hunter and was a warrior. Interesting

Pakistan Airforce should fly flags at half mast for this great American and love of Pakistan.

United States Air Force's legendary pilot Charles Yeager died on December 7, 2020 at the age of 97. He was a highly decorated soldier who was also awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian award. He remained active on twitter until very recently. In a 2017 tweet, Yeager called Pakistan Air Force pilots "the best in the world". In another tweet in 2015, Yeager said "they (PAF pilots) kicked the Indians butt".

General Charles Yeager (1923-2020)

General Yeager got the world's attention as early 1944 when shot down 5 German fighter aircraft in a single day. Later, he became the first man to break the sound barrier. Yeager's life as a daredevil pilot was documented by Tom Wolf in his 1979 book "The Right Stuff" that was later made into a movie. Actor Sam Shepard played Yeager in the movie.

@GenChuckYeager's 2015 Tweet

General Yeager, a colonel in 1971, served as an advisor to Pakistan Air Force. He was there during the 1971 India-Pakistan war. Here's what he said about his experience in Pakistan:
"This Air Force (PAF), is second to none" "The air war lasted two weeks and the Pakistanis scored a three-to-one kill ratio, knocking out 102 Russian-made Indian jets and losing thirty-four airplanes of their own. I'm certain about the figures because I went out several times a day in a chopper and counted the wrecks below." "They were really good, aggressive dogfighters and proficient in gunnery and air combat tactics. I was damned impressed. Those guys just lived and breathed flying. "

@GenChuckYeager's 2017 Tweet

In addition to serving in Pakistan, Yeager also worked as an advisor in the Philippinnes and Spain. In the 1950s and ’60s, Yeager commanded squadrons, rising to colonel and later to brigadier general. After his retirement, he continued flying for the Air Force and NASA in some capacity as well as performing test flights on light aircraft for Piper Aircraft.

His surname says he was descended from hunters. Indians are not hunters. I am also not a hunter. Genghis Khan would been a nomadic hunter so perhaps Imran Khan is descended from hunter people also. Chuck might have felt his ancient hunter links to certain of the peoples of Pakistan.
Ancestors of most people, who are in Europe, came from Asia.

Chuck Yeager had a long wonderful life and seen and done things many of us can only ever dream about in something most of here on this forum are very passionate about, military aviation. A true pioneer and legend, whose name will echo through aviation history for longer than most people on this forum will.

RIP Chuck Yeager. You were most certainly made of the right stuff.
