Chuck Yeager
Feb 13, 1923 - Dec 07, 2020 (age 97)
Born of a daring nature
Unafraid of the unknown
Always pushing the limits
Fearless of the danger zone
A legendary test pilot
An ace in the skies
A leader in victory
When challenges arise
Before there were astronauts
There was Chuck Yeager
Cooler than cool
The demon dragon slayer
Named after his lovely wife
“Glamorous Glennis”
The Bell X-1 blazing the skies to
Break the sound barrier and befriend it
Punching a hole in the sky
Was his idea of fun
The world’s greatest pilot
There can be only one
A Supersonic Hero
Is how history remembers you
But so much more of Chuck Yeager
Inspiring young minds anew
