He was definitely one of the braver fliers to walk the earth (if not braver than at least more notable). Back then the Rolex watch was a standard for its ruggedness and reliability. It still performs the same although it's certainly not worn for that reason alone. It is one of the reasons I love mine, it's consistency over years as opposed to the battery powered ones which always need maintenance. It's great to wear something rock solid on the wrist.

Awesome shot! One of my idols once I learned about him in 5th grade science class.

Great guy. I highly recommend to follow him on Twitter. I think his newish wife (20 years) does the posting for him but it surely sounds all Yeager.

Also read the book, Yeager. Well worth it.
