Tom Wolfe lived a good, long, productive life. He was writing about early astronauts & discovered test pilots doing the dangerous work & not getting recognition until The Right Stuff. I wrote the NF-104 part for him. @JeffBezos @BetteMidler @nytimes @CNN @NewYorker #TheRightSTuff
The NF-104 crash was without doubt the most exciting part of the book. Glad it wasn’t me
. Thanks, Chuck.

I needed a refresh: http://framework.latimes.com/2012/02/28/chuck-yeager-and-the-nf-104-starfighter-crash/ … IDK if it was the General, but my favorite "Keystone Cops" type memory was of a sonic boom scattering our sandlot football game in every direction like the electric vibrating football game.
