A Note from Victoria
February 13, 2023 - Chuck Yeager's 100th Birthday International Celebration
Victoria (Mrs. Chuck Yeager), the US Air Force, William Shatner ("Star Trek") and many others are inviting you to help celebrate America's hero, General Chuck Yeager's 100th birthday on February 13, 2023. It's easy:
You can be part of the 1st Annual International Great General Chuck Yeager Fly In & Aviation Day Celebrating General Yeager's 100th Birthday.
Brookings, OR: Feb 13, 2023 4 PM Pilots giving kids their first flight.
Around the world:
I hope you'll participate! It's easy and fun! Wherever you are, go fly, do something aviation related such as visit an airport, airport cafe, aviation museum, fly a kite, or simply look up to the skies and honor General Chuck Yeager.
Then please post photos of your personal tribute/flight on social media with hashtag #GREATCHUCKYEAGERFLYIN #ChuckYeagerflyin #ChuckYeagerCentennial.
Please spread the word.
Next year, we may have prizes for the best photos or certificates or get aviation museums and airports to have special events around the world or free entrance or....
I'm told the aviation community needs to get more kids involved or we'll have a pilot shortage in 10-15 years. So maybe we have an international Young Eagles event on that day, too - take kids flying.
Any and all ideas are welcome!
Victoria Yeager
