Today in History

Proving to the world that, yes, we can fly it to be a sound. Entering us into the second great age of aviation. The engines delivered £6000 of thrust. The acid analyzed fuel engine was believed to be capable of boosting an airplane to the fringes of the known flight performance envelope. Joe Gerber, best remembered in the movie the right stuff, earned his place in history by making America break the sound barrier. By making history, america lost a lot of good pilots in those days

Hey, Eric. What's going on? Warpig 73 here. I really enjoyed this phenomenal swell man like Chuck Yeager is the man. And the fact that you actually were blessed with an opportunity to meet him and he was still flying in the late 70s when you met him, that's freaking amazing. I could give anything to meet Mr. Yeager back in the day. So thanks again for bringing a smile on my face
