. Yeager, inspiration for Right Stuff, sues his kids for stealing pension


SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Famed U.S. pilot . Yeager is accusing his children in court of diverting hundreds of thousands of dollars from his pension fund.

The lawsuit filed Thursday is the latest legal dispute between Yeager, 83, the first pilot to fly faster than the speed of sound, and his four children. The fight began in state court after Yeager became engaged to his second wife, Victoria Scott D'Angelo, said Yeager's lawyer, George Roberts. She was 45 when the couple wed in 2003. His first wife, Glennis, died in 1990.

Yeager's finances had been managed by his oldest daughter, Susan Yeager, but D'Angelo feared her husband was being shut out of financial decisions, Roberts said.

Susan Yeager and two siblings sued D'Angelo, accusing her of alienating Yeager from his family to gain control of his estate.

The federal suit names all four children, including Michael Yeager, Don Yeager and Sharon Yeager Flick. The children and their representatives either could not be reached or declined comment.

Yeager broke the sound barrier when he piloted a Bell X-1 rocket plane over the Mojave Desert on Oct. 14, 1947. He was a subject of Tom Wolfe's novel The Right Stuff.

The retired air force brigadier-general has lived near Nevada City, Calif., since 1975.

. Yeager is a dick. As time passes, his reputation as major a-hole spreads. He really shined when Scott Crossfield died.

I watched him fly Glamourous Glennis His old P-51 of 28 in KMAC years ago and it was beautiful .The sound of the merlin engine passed right over us and he rolled that plane around on climb out into the west.
He is a Great Man and an American Hero ,who fought for his country and the freedom of others and for that i do not care if he has small flaws.
He put his life on the line for others.
