I am reminded of 2 things: 1. my buddy, Mac McKee, fellow flight officer, w/ whom I met Glennis. He died during World War II. 2. My visit to Normandy #France for the 1st time on the ground, 2 years ago. @HISTORY #WWII #memorialdayweekend2020 #friendship @샤이니는_12년째_빛나는중https://twitter.com/VictoriaYeage11/status/1264624849344794624 …

Sir, I've read that your 10 Dec. 1963 NF-104A "mishap" was attributed to a "gyroscopic condition caused by engine spin after shut-down on entering the zoom phase". Was this risk known to you prior to the flight? If so, what measure did you use counteract it? Why did it fail? Thx!

Sir: This article quotes a statement at the end of the video released by "Edwards AFB History Office". I watched the video, and it does offer that explanation. PS: I don't think even Tom Wolfe captured what giant cojones it took to strap into such beasts!https://theaviationist.com/2019/12/11/newly-released-video-shows-then-col-chuck-yeager-losing-control-and-crashing-an-nf-104a-at-edwards-afb-in-1963/ …
