I always enjoyed the October talks/lectures that Gen. Yeager gave at the National Air and Space Museum. I heard him speak quite a few times and every time was memorable and exciting. |

I had the opportunity to attend one of Gen. Yeager's lectures at the National Air and Space Museum. A relative of mine, Lt. Edward L. Swindell, was a crew member on the B-29 that assisted Gen. Yeager in breaking the sound barrier in the B-1 aircraft. CAVU! |

Saddens me greatly to know my earliest aviation hero has passed. I’ve been blessed to have met him, watched him fly the P-51D and witnessed him tell great stories of bravery along side his wingman Clarence Bud Anderson. Godspeed and RIP sir. 🇺🇸 |
