Victoria Yeager, wife of Retired U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Chuck Yeager, wears an F-15 Eagle helmet during a visit to the Jacksonville Air National Guard Base, Florida, Oct. 31, 2024. During her visit to the 125th Fighter Wing, Mrs. Yeager met with Department of Defense STARBASE students, toured the Aircrew Flight Equipment shop, the base fire department, and attended a welcome briefing by Col. Monsour Elhihi, commander of the 125th FW. The F-15 helmet is designed to integrate with the aircraft’s oxygen system and communication equipment, providing pilots with essential life support and clear audio communication during high-speed maneuvers. Brig. Gen. Yeager was an Air Force flying ace and test pilot who made history in 1947 as the first person confirmed to break the sound barrier in level flight.
