A Supersonic Hero
R.I.P.(0.00 / 0 votes)
Chuck E. Yeager
Feb 13, 1923 - Dec 07, 2020 (age 97)
A Supersonic Hero
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 the 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 your 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
