Oct 14, 1947: B-2 dropped me in a stall.I ignited all 4 engines. I radioed: There's something wrong w/ this MACHmeter, it's gone off the scales. It only went to MACH 1:don't think they had much confidence in us :-) They heard the boom on the ground. We had broken the soundbarrier

Love the history tweets, Gen. Yeager! Thank you. My fam & I watched TRS movie yesterday to celebrate; I pointed you out in the Pancho scenes. Why did they drop X1 in a stall, intentional or accidental?
Ask Cardenas, B-29 pilot, - he also counted down from 10 backwards badly - left out a number each time & a different one at that
