Retired Air Force test pilot, World War II ace and first man to break the sound barrier, Gen. Chuck Yeager, has been an aviator for a long time, but what started it all?
Hey @GenChuckYeager at what age did you fall in love with aviation and realize that is what you wanted to do with your life?

Never did. I was in maintenance,saw pilots had beautiful girls on their arms, didn't have dirty hands, so I applied https://t.co/dBnNJWnJVc

@GenChuckYeager @ebassprod @martinhuntsman greatest answer to a question – honesty. Hope it catches on

Yeager’s done a whole lot in his life, but he doesn’t seem eager to add “politician” to his resume:
Elect this man. https://t.co/hxrNjlWTbM
