Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer is a 1987 computer aircraft simulation game produced by Electronic Arts. Chuck Yeager served as technical consultant for the game, where his likeness and voice are prominently used.
The game allows a player to "test pilot" 14 different airplanes, including the Bell X-1, which Yeager had piloted to become the first man to exceed Mach 1. Other aircraft one can test fly include the SR-71 Blackbird; the P-51 Mustang; the Cessna 172 Skyhawk; the F-16 and the F/A-18.
The game is embellished by Yeager's laconic commentary: When the user crashes one plane, Yeager remarks "You really bought the farm on that one!"
[edit] Legacy
This game was followed in 1989 by Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer 2.0 and in 1991 by Chuck Yeager's Air Combat.
