Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "Oct 13, 1947: Told Ridley I couldn't close door on X-1. He said "Hmm!" Contemplated this, then cut off a piece of a broom. With it, I could lock the X-1 door after I climbed in. We left it on the floor of the X-1. It was loaded on the B-29. @HISTORY @USAFReserve @usairforce @TIME"

  I remember seeing the footage of you getting into the X-1, and the elevator bouncing sure couldn’t of felt good on your ribs.

  This photo has pride of place in my home. I love when my grandkids ask about it, and I explain the X-1, Chuck Yeager, the sound barrier, & your place in history.pic.twitter.com/NXcINNYWdz
