Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "Oct 14, 1947: Broom handle worked beautifully. After B-29 dropped me in a stall: I fired off rockets & my MAchmeter went all screwy :-) at approx 10:35am PST we had accomplished what the ol' man (Col Al Boyd) had sent us out to do @HISTORY @USAToday @usairforce #fastandfurious"

  Still gives me chills to think about what you did! Q: Was the “Mach meter went screwy” call for security, or were you just joking around with Ridley?

  Probably my favorite part of "The Right Stuff." Hey Ridley, you got any Beemans?

  I wonder if you ever went over to the Taloa Academy at Minter Field in Bakersfield? My uncle (by marriage) was one of the Indonesian fighter pilots trained there around 1951.
