What airplane would you pilot one more time - if you had the chance?
Q: @HughesSarge How good would that parachute have been at that speed (#MACH1) A: X-1 stall speed was 250 mph. Big incentive to bring the plane back. Those wings would have cut like knives. @HISTORY @NCIS_CBS @NCISLA @HBO @netflix @NFL @MaskedSingerFOX

I had no idea that the stall speed was that fast. I assume that was loaded. What was the stall speed when it was empty? What was it when the pilot was fully loaded? :) Has anyone mentioned that you were insane to fly the thing?

No empty

I recall a TV interview of the General...When asked if he encountered "fear" during his flights - Yeager replied in true Test Pilot form "No... we call it 'apprehension'..."pic.twitter.com/BZ2mfoudFl

The General is THE definition for cool.

Not sure where this question came from, don’t recall making any statements or asking any questions regarding parachutes.
