The only pilot to fly through the Saint Louis Arch I hear, test pilot, hero and West Virginian.

Nope, you're thinking of Chuck Yeager. I'm not a big fan of that Chuck.
This is another Chuck who was kind, thoughtful, cared about others and was simply an all around nice guy. His life reflected his love of people. He was also one of the great post WWII jet fighter pilots who knew how to feel and fly a supersonic airplane by the seat of his pants. They don't make em like that anymore and never did make very many of them.
