Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "Aug. 10, 1920: General Frank ''Pete'' Everest Jr. was born in Fairmont, WV. In 1956, he flew the X-2 at Mach 3, exceeding 1,900 miles per hour. I was stationed in Germany at the time. Pete was a good friend. #Testpilot @usairforce @USArmy @opry @blakeshelton #WestVirginia"

  Actually Sir, Everest Jr. flew the X-2 at Mach 2.87. Milburn “Mel” Apt became the first man to fly faster than Mach 3 the day he got killed in the aircraft due to inertia roll coupling.
