If that is a slam at General Yeager then shame on you. As an ex pilot I admire his guts breaking the sound barrier. What have you ever done that is worth mention?
Well, first off, I was at the ceremony where Chuck Yeager appeared when the airport was named after him. How about you?
Why do so many people on FR interpret a simple remark as a slam? I said nothing to slam him. I simply said there was no mention of any naming rights back then, and that times have changed.
I agree with your impression of a slam. The suit is specific in private companies making hay on his name. To the inferred slam, having an airport named after the General hardly incites commercial interests but instead it is the focus of honoring his achievments.
