Dec. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Retired Air Force Brigadier General Charles “Chuck” Yeager, the pilot who first broke the speed of sound, sued Virgin America Inc., claiming the airline used his name in an advertisement for a new on-board wireless Internet service without his permission.

The company issued a press release that said, “Not unlike Buzz Aldrin or Chuck Yeager, you have the opportunity to be part of a monumental moment in air travel,” according to a complaint filed yesterday in state court in San Francisco.
