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!!

LJUBIM TE TEĆO ŽIKICO, OVDE TVOJ LEPTIRIĆ, UVEK LETI SAMO NA 7 NAJBOLIJH MINUTA. Zajedno idemo u našoj ambasadi u parizu da osyvariś tvojih dva sana. Prvi pukovnik ataše a drugi u crazy hors. 💖🐦

Don't forget to honor the stuntman who died during this sequence. Sad taint to such a perfect movie. "During the filming of a sequence portraying Chuck Yeager's ejection from an NF-104, stuntman Joseph Svec, a former Green Beret, was killed when he failed to open his parachute because he may have been unconscious from smoke." (from Wikipedia)

I think I see a Plane that's got my name on it!!! Amen Chuck...:o)

That's not an F-104

"Is that a man?" You bet he was! R.I.P., Chuck Yeager, Sir!

He must have had 3 balls!... RIP 🙏✈️

2022 remake : - Is that a person who identifies as a man? - You're damn right it is!

❤

Levon played a great part

The great Levon Helm delivering that line perfectly in reference to the great Chuck Yeager played by the great Sam Shepherd. Two legends lionizing a legendary hero.

The F104 was a beautiful aircraft but it wasn't meant to fly. It earned the nickname "Widowmaker" due to accidents associated with it. And also in service with various NATO countries although it was plagued by bribe scandal. It was immortalized here. Just beautiful cinematography

I came here after Top gun: Maverick.

At least he didn’t walk into a diner asking where he is.

Chuck Yeager was a great,great man

F-104A Starfighter 💯🔥. In Belgium 🇧🇪 we had the F-104G and we flew those babies until 1983.
