So what does Chuck Yeager eat for breakfast to combat those bouts of air sickness and migraines fighter pilots typically experience at G-force speeds?
"I had a fighter pilot's breakfast - two aspirin, a cup of coffee and a puke," he said to fans at an air show Saturday at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. The group howled.But one guy's video camera wasn't running. He asked Yeager to repeat the quip.
Yeager, 71, gave him a nothing-doing shake of the head. "Just like in one of my planes, I've learned never to make more than one pass," he said. "You get shot at that way."
