Q: How long was the flight in which you broke the sound barrier Oct 14, 1947? A: Less than 5-10 mins. Only had 2.5 mins of fuel. The glide to landing after exceeding MACH 1 was the longest part - over 30,000' to the lake bed at about 2300'

Was Landing something with almost no wings and no fuel more of an adrenaline rush then actually breaking the sound barrier? :D

What was the biggest adrenaline rush you ever had in a cockpit?

No idea. Didn't think in those terms. And as a fighter pilot in combat and a test pilot - probably too many to decide on one
