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

Words are hard to describe how incredible that greatest generation was. I'm proud many of our Dad's were part of that great generation. Agree 100% Steve! RIP Sir.........

Didn't every young boy have a model of the X15 hanging in their room in the 50"s ?? And we all knew darn well who the man was that flew it... Sad to see him go, but he did live a full and adventurous life.
