A comment someone wrote at the Wall Street Journal:
Reportedly, when the West Virginia Turnpike was dedicated, Yeager was scheduled to fly a jet fighter over a bridge where the ceremonies were taking place. Instead, he flew under the bridge and when he asked why he responded "Because I thought I could". The bridge was thenceforth named "Yeager Bridge".
