The flight in 1963 wasn't unauthorized, as it was depicted in the movie, was it?
The Right Stuff movie, the producers/director asked me to do a re-enactment of the NF-104 flight. I said no way. They got someone else - he augured in.https://twitter.com/rsch1964/status/929560633288269825 …

It was authorized. It was his second flight that day, from what I recall from his book

General, can you be more specific? Was it to be the same aerial footage we saw in movie?

No. That was partly SFX.

Just read they were going to modify a 104 to look like an NF, but repainted German 104 for movie instead

It still bothers me how it wasn't until they found the capsule that they definitely said "He told the truth", especially since he told it all along!

I saw a 104 at pearl harbour a couple of months ago. I couldn't believe those were the actual wings. I asked one of the guides if they were real saying "surely that wouldn't fly". Still wasn't sure I believed him
