The racing stripe on the instrument panel was another notable difference.
Q: difference between MiG-15 and F-86 A: Main difference - flying tail - F-86F could go supersonic, MiG-15 could not. And this was 5 years after we broke the sound barrier. #soundbarrier #supersonic #Korea #NorthKorea #Mig15 #F86 @usairforce

Is it true you met Orville Wright? What was he like, did he say anything interesting about flying? Thank you!

Thank you for sharing these stories, experiences and knowledge with us. It’s fascinating and information that would be very difficult to obtain for those of us who have never been pilots. It’s a brilliantly personal tool for learning.

I loved your recounting the process that got you to the flying tail via Twitter last year. So glad we have you here on Twitter to recount history in bite sized chunks!

Yes! We are so fortunate to get these from the General. Thank you, Sir.

Did "going supersonic" give a big edge in fighting the MIG-15s or did it depend on the pilot?

Though not a place you want to be! BTW, you learned about the flying tail on your X-1, “Glamorous Glennis, didn’t you? I am surprised that Bell didn’t incorporate the all-movable horizon tail initially.
