Today, December 7, 2020 a real life G.I. Joe and the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound, died today at the age of 97.
The 1997 GI Joe Collectors' Club Exclusive Super Sonic Test Pilot convention boxed set featured test pilot Chuck Yeager as a 12 inch action figure. “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 God speed, General. May you rest in peace.
