PHILIP KAUFMAN: We started looking roughly for individual who could play Yeager. Then my wife, Rose, as well as I went to a verse reading inward San Francisco as well as Sam Shepard was reading. Rose poked me as well as said, “There's your guy.” I said, “For what?” She said, “Yeager.” Sam had a cowboy character to him.
CALEB DESCHANEL: When nosotros were at Edwards Air Force Base, nosotros actually had the run of the place. We'd locomote correct along the runways. Some pilots would larn ticked off because nosotros were besides close. But Yeager was alongside us a lot of the time. One airplane pilot landed as well as was like, “Who the hell are you?! What's going on?! Who's inward charge?!” Finally Chuck Yeager turns around, as well as the guy's confront all of a abrupt fell. He said, “Oh, General, I'm actually sorry, I didn't realize that y'all were alongside these guys.” You could create anything y'all wanted at Edwards equally long equally Yeager was around.
SHEPARD: When I get-go met Chuck, he had an one-time Ford pickup. Out in that location past times Edwards it's rattling flat, as well as all the streets are perpendicular to each other; he would larn upward to most 85 miles an hr alongside his cruise control, as well as he would hitting these intersections without touching the brake. Every ane time inward a piece you'd meet a machine coming from a distance as well as it was heading correct where y'all were heading, but Chuck would non pose the brake on. He would only popular off on going.
