One of the United States' greatest daredevils of the sky, Chuck Yeager died on Monday evening. He was 97. The Air Force test pilot made history as the first person to break the sound barrier, flying at 660 miles an hour on October 14th, 1947. Not content to stop there, Yeager went on to break other speed records, including flying a Bell X-1A rocket plane at 1,612 mph in 1953. However, Yeager became well-known to the general public only after Tom Wolfe's 'The Right Stuff' was published in 1979. According to Gizmodo, Ret. Brigadier General Chuck Yeager is survived by his wife, Victoria Yeager.

After the opening ceremony, the Vespa World Days 2024 in Pontedera are fully underway but even today, on the second of the four days of the scheduled festival, an incredible number of Vespisti are still arriving in Vespa’s native city from all over Europe, joining the thousands of enthusiasts who had already arrived over the past few days. As we await the final numbers, the 2024 edition of the Vespa World Days already promises to be one of the biggest Vespa events ever.For the first time, the annual rally for all the national Vespa Clubs from all over the world is being held precisely where Vespa was born and where it has been manufactured non-stop since 1946. A truly special edition, also because it celebrates 140 years of Piaggio, the company founded in 1884, where representatives have already arrived from Australian and South American clubs, as well as from the USA and China and, obviously, from every European nation.The anticipation of the Vespisti and all the guests is steadily growing for the great Vespa Parade, the procession of all the Vespas participating in the rally scheduled for tomorrow where thousands of Vespas and Vespisti will be riding through the Valdera. Among the enthusiasts departing at 11:00 AM from Viale Italia in Pontedera, will also be TV host Rudy Zerbi.There was a small taste of the parade today, with the various tours which took the Vespisti on a true Tuscany Experience to discover spectacular routes to such places as Pisa and Volterra, a long line of Vespas, led by the special GTS 300 delivered yesterday to the State Police, which will also be a protagonist in the Parade tomorrow. Besides the big parade, the highlight of the day tomorrow will be in the Vespa Village with the Concours d’Elegance, an opportunity participants will not want to miss to see some of the most beautiful and rarest Vespas accompanied by the elegance of riders and passengers.
