Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "Q: Gen. did you ever feel curious to fly X-15? A: No. I was flying combat. Oct 2, 1967: My friend Pete Knight (@SteveKnight25 's Dad) was the fastest man alive at 6.7 MACH. When he landed X-15 was on fire & he was close to burning up. View damage here: https://t.co/eZ3JXeu7Wk"

  Damn, I knew this X-15 was testing a new engine, but I didn't know it went mach 6.7! No wonder the paint was burning off and the leading edges of the plane were damaged

  Glad Pete landed without injury - I’m guessing he displayed great airmanship in doing very so

  Holy moly. Any faster and it may have disintegrated. Next time should save taxpayers a few grand and skip the paint job. ;)

  Tech quest: was it painted in white for that flight? Or just "ash" paint result?
