Following from _Aviation Week_, 13Jan86, p. 11:

		   "USAF Brig. Gen. Charles E. (Chuck)
		Yeager, ret., will receive the second David
		Bernard Air Safety Medal on Jan. 25 in Los
		Angeles in recognition of his lifetime contri-
		butions to aviation safety."

I wonder what _Aviation Consumer_ has to say about that?
