"Hey Ridley, you got any Beeman's?" - Chuck Yeager

Gwynne here. Your response seems a bit MANic to me. But I still love you, and I hope you get better.

"Is that a man?" "You're damn right it is" Tears 😢 of pride everytime

Are there clouds in the sky or not? (Terribly continuity.)

I think we are no longer worthy of men like General Yeager.

One of my favourite movies. It gets me teary-eyed.

Triumphant in the face of death...while chewing gum and a smile...my hero

This is the pride of a man who stayed true to himself without giving in. I really like people like this.

I had the very good fortune to meet and talk with this Legend of the Heavens. A gentlemens, gentleman.

One of many inaccuracies in the movie. Col. Ridley had been killed in an airplane crash six years before this happened.

That’s a symbol for anyone who’s ever survived a tramautic or life changing event and getting to walk away from it. It’s the smart and tough SOBs who survive things like this. Their reward is to walk away in 1 piece from the smoking wreckage. A bit lighter in the wallet or a bit older in time but nevertheless they walk away from it

Chewing the Beeman's 😢❤

A top secret report released under FOIA revealed the shocking fact that Yeager almost entered geostationary orbit, where he would have been stranded forever.

Showing Icarus how it's done.

Mark Kelly for Vice President!

When Gordo Cooper was asked by the press 'Who was the best pilot you ever saw?', we know he really wanted to say it was Chuck Yaeger, before his ego intervened.

😎

The best!

Yes folks, this is the iconic moment that Tom Cruise STOLE for his ridiculous sequel to Top Gun

2024: As much as I dislike some parts of this film, this scene is one of my favorites. I was a baby when the Mercury program was going on, having been born a month to the day after John Glenn made his historic flight

this scene does not do Yeager justice, but it is a movie. Reading his autobiography, Yeager was the ultimate professional. He would never just wing something as shown. Yeager was some sort of guy - few of us hit our slot in life. I'd love to have had a coffee with his wife and get her take. But as Jack Reacher would say, "in an investigation, details matter." - these 104s were modified with thrusters on the aircraft. Everyone already knew that once you lost atmosphere, flight surfaces would not work. USAF had been going to space for 10 years before NASA ever formed - NASA absorbed all of their data. That day, the nose thrusters failed - there was no way to put the 104 (which could barely fly anyway) into an envelope to regain control. To USAF and the early astronauts!...

Chuck Yeager is the GOAT, it was a shame that the US Government cancelled the X20 project, the dude should have been to space

It was extremely difficult to recover from a F-104 flat spin, pilots were instructed to eject if that happened.

Who's the best pilot you ever saw?

Yup ! You damn right it is .

Anyone else get chills just from hearing the engine spool up before takeoff?

As great as this scene is, there's a big glaring problem. This crash occurred in 1963. Jack Ridley died in 1957.

This is my most favorite manly movie

I never forget when I saw him in a cameo in the TV show I Dream of Jeannie with actor Larry Hagman next to a F - 102 Voodoo.

I just toured Edwards AFB. It was friggin' awesome!! 🛩️🚀✨🇺🇸🫡

This is part of the ending to season 3, episode 10, For All Mankind... for those who haven't figured it out. Ed Baldwin as Chuck Yeager.

And for a few seconds, Chuck Yaeger touched the sky.

At what altitude did he eject from the plane?

One of my favorite movie scenes of all time. Spectacular

Bill Conti plagiarized Tchaikovsky’s violín concerto to create the main theme for The Right Stuff, and he won an Oscar I think... But truthfully the new arrangement is what gives these strong scenes more potency... I say well done. But the story behind this, even if it was different ... this movie helps to reminds us of it

A God in breaking record s , love you 😍 ❤️ 😘 💖 💕

POV: You just destroyed a very expensive craft

Rip the stunt man who didn’t not live

I have seen a lot of movies in my life. Many have had that "i did it" moment. This one, just takes the cake.

I grew up near Mojave. I loved hearing those jets break the sound barrier. Saw many Shuttle landings too as a kid in the 80's out there. BOOM, BOOM!

The chair broke his mask exposing his oxygen supply to flame. This was his last test flight.

Chuck Yeager deserves his own candle! He has brought more spiritual enlightenment to this world… bringing spiritual evolution to all that began to know him! My family thanks you

Instant tan.

2:26 - American altimeters: Ours go to 11.

40 years since its initial release. Still the best movie I have ever seen. IMHO!!
