Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "Dec 10, 1963: #OTD My 2nd flt that day in NF-104 didn't end so well. 13 flat spins as the NF-104 plummeted more than 90,000 ft before I finally punched out. Rocket seat hit my face mask, set it on fire. I survived because I knew my egress systems well https://t.co/uPGg1kH3e9 …"

  That aircraft had slats instead of wings. It was a missile with a slight hint of control, or so I surmise. Glad you walked away, despite some discomfort.

  You sir are obviously the poster boy for the axiom that a disciplined, well trained pilot is the most cost effective and lethal component of our national defense. Thank God for your talent, courage and commitment to the USA

  I just watched The Right Stuff this evening, not even realizing that this happened 54 years ago today.
