Just before you break through...

Just before you break through the sound barrier, the cockpit shakes the most.

All that I am ... I owe to the Air Force.

Chuck Yeager 43 quotes

There is no such thing as a na...

There is no such thing as a natural born pilot. Whatever my aptitudes or talents, becoming a proficient pilot was hard work, really a lifetime's learning experience. For the best pilots, flying is an obsession, the one thing in life they must do continually. The best pilots fly more than the others; that's why they're the best. Experience is everything. The eagerness to learn how and why every piece of equipment works is everything. And luck is everything, too.

The best pilots fly more than the others; that's why they're the best.

What good does it do to be afraid? It doesn't help anything. You better try and figure out what's happening and correct it.

Later, I realized that the mission had to end in a let-down because the real barrier wasn't in the sky but in our knowledge and experience of supersonic flight.

Unfortunately, many people do not consider fun an important item on their daily agenda. For me, that was always a high priority in whatever I was doing.

Everybody that I've ever seen that enjoyed their job was very good at it.

At the moment of truth, there are either reasons or results.

Never wait for trouble.

That to me is a bunch of crap trying to shoot guys up into damned space. What they're going to do is they're going to wipe out half a dozen people one of these days, and that will be the end of it.

Chuck Yeager 43 quotes

I have flown in just about everything, with all kinds of pilots in all parts of the world - British, French, Pakistani, Iranian, Japanese, Chinese - and there wasn't a dime's worth of difference between any of them except for one unchanging, certain fact: the best, most skillful pilot has the most experience.

I have no regrets about my life. People ask, 'If you had to do it all over again, would you do it differently?' No. That's speculation.

Chuck Yeager 43 quotes

Just before you break through the sound barrier, the cockpit shakes the most.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing.

In 1966, NASA took over in space, and it has been a bureaucratic mess ever since.

Chuck Yeager 43 quotes

The one word you use in military flying is duty. It's your duty. You have no control over outcome, no control over pick-and-choose. It's duty.

It wasn't that the X-1 would kill you, it was the systems in the X-1 that would kill you.

You do what you can for as long as you can, and when you finally can't, you do the next best thing. You back up but you don't give up.

Chuck Yeager 43 quotes

You don't concentrate on risks. You concentrate on results. No risk is too great to prevent the necessary job from getting done.
