General Yeager

Flies out of O-17, Grass Valley, I see him occasionally coming and going, usually on Saturday mornings when he flies his friend Bart Riebe's Aviat Husky with a friend. He has a well developed command presence, people generally just go quiet when he enters the room or walks on the Ramp. In my experience, he wouldn' talk to just anyone who isn't with media. He is gruff, but very articulate with a real West Virginia accent. Looks very well for his years. He settled here years ago after retirement, his wife, Glennis, was born here (She has passed away). I've stood next to him and listened, (closely), he is a true hero, quite reserved, and keeps to himself in the neighborhood.
