How was it? Did it fly different than you expected? How well did it glide?
Dec 3, 1963: I flew the M2-F1 lifting body for the 1st time. Pictured here as well:http://www.chuckyeager.com/1961-1975-to-new-heights … Some of the story here: http://victoriayeager.com/chuck-yeager-m2-f1-lifting-body/ …https://twitter.com/frankmacekwkyc/status/937398560395366400 …

It handled great? Just wouldn't know it to look at it. It looks very close coupled, especially in roll

What did Bruce Petersen do to cause PIO?

Need more specifics. If you are referring to his crash in 1967, I don't know. I was flying combat in Vietnam.

General, how would you have felt about taking a similar ship through deorbit and reentry?

The lifting body looks aerodynamically inefficient. But that may not apply at hypersonic speed.

Isn’t this the same model as shown in the “Six Million Dollar Man” intro??
