Q: @HughesSarge How good would that parachute have been at that speed (#MACH1) A: X-1 stall speed was 250 mph. Big incentive to bring the plane back. Those wings would have cut like knives. @HISTORY @NCIS_CBS @NCISLA @HBO @netflix @NFL @MaskedSingerFOX
I recall a TV interview of the General...When asked if he encountered "fear" during his flights - Yeager replied in true Test Pilot form "No... we call it 'apprehension'..."pic.twitter.com/BZ2mfoudFl

I can imagine Astronauts Robert L. Behnken and Douglas G. Hurley are going to be a little "apprehensive" tomorrow afternoon. It's a pretty big test flight on a world stage. Any words for them, General Yeager?
