What is a flying tail?
Q fr @JeremyWMiller3 How did the MiG-15 compare to our planes at the time (1953) A: Not great. It couldn't go MACH 1 because it didn't have a flying tail. @usairforce #NorthKorea #Korea #SouthKorea @USForcesKorea @TheKoreaHerald @EnglishChosun 동아일보

A 'flying tail' is where the entire horizontal tail section moves up and down as the elevator, instead of just a portion.

@JeremyWMiller3 The General devoted a chapter in his autobiography to flying the -15. The best part is @ the end of the Chapter... "The Pilot with the most experience will wax your ass every time. It's that simple."Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

That had to be so great to test fly the enemy’s air craft. And what a great asset for the USA to have the best test flight pilot in the world do it.
