Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "Q: But what do you think about glider flying actually? A: I enjoy it, did it many times, always landed without fuel in the X-1 so it was ultimately a glider. (land with fuel, might blow up, gear not stressed to land with fuel) #BellX1, #GLIDER #Airplane #airplanes #chuckyeager"

  What was the L/D on the X-1 General Yeager? The gliders we fly now have anything from 40:1 to 60:1 - pretty sure you couldn’t thermal the X-1!

  Holy $***! So you circled the airfield until you ran out of fuel then landed it. I guess to break the sound barrier the need the jet to be as light as possible. To me the real question, how exactly did you develop the nerves of steel to do this?
