Chuck Yeager, the historic test pilot portrayed in the movie "The Right Stuff," is dead at the age of 97, according to a tweet posted on his account late Monday.
"It is w/ profound sorrow, I must tell you that my life love General Chuck Yeager passed just before 9pm ET," said the tweet, attributed to his wife, actress Victoria Scott D'Angelo. "An incredible life well lived, America's greatest Pilot, & a legacy of strength, adventure, & patriotism will be remembered forever."

Godspeed, general.

    This is very sad to me, as someone who always looked up to him. He was arguably America's greatest and most daring pilot. He was a legend. To the man, the myth, the legend, Rest in Peace.
