Reading of his endeavors in The Right Stuff as well as his autobiography helped steer me into aviation.

RIP General.

Wow! He was a mans man. I was at an airshow at Edwards when he went up to break the sound barrier for everyone. Awesome to see and hear. Kinda weird he passed on Pearl Harbor remembrance day. R.I.P. Chuck
