Dec 12, 1953: I flew MACH 2.44, then tumbled on all 3 axes, knocked out, came to in inverted spin, kicked into a spin & landed the plane. Had to go give a talk in LA. Before flight had been up early duck huntin'. Long day. Here's the audio http://www.chuckyeager.com/x-1a-flight-audio … @HISTORY @TIME

Chuck, I would really like to ask you a question. Would it be okay if I asked it here?

Well, I walked right into that one. Haha! Here's my real question: Did you notice any change in your sensory or perception when you broke the sound barrier? Such as a change in smell, vision, or hearing? I appreciate you and thank you for your service. God speed.
