Today is the 60th anniversary of Chuck Yeager’s flight in the Bell X-1 rocket plane in which he broke the sound barrier. He was able to reach 670-mph or Mach 1.015 at Muroc Dry Lake, California, after being air launched from a B-29.
Back on Sept 21, Gen Yeager celebrated the 60th anniversary by breaking the sound barrier again in an F-16 over Edwards AFB.CA
