Chuck Yeager's calm, level, under-control radio transmissions has exerted a powerful and long-lasting influence on the pilot "community" that is still pervasive.

To hear Yeager in action follow either of the two links below. You can listen to Yeager and follow along on the transcript as Yeager manages the impossible and pulls the aircraft out of danger. Yeager is seconds away from death, but sounds all the world like it is a routine day at work.

Thanks. Yeager was/is a cool dude. When I was a kid, he was one of my heroes. He still is.
