  Pilot / engineer / astronaut Neil Armstrong called the X-15 the most successful research aircraft ever built.

  Apart from the X-15 itself, those analog computers and rat&apos;s nest of wiring, physically drawn graphs in real time and simulators before computers... those guys were geniuses

  I&apos;m proud to say - I managed to get an autographed photo of three of the X-15 pilots before they passed away...<br>Scott Crossfield (First to fly the X-15, plus the first man to break Mach 2 - worked on the design &amp; project mgt of the X-15)<br>Pete Knight (holder of the absolute speed record in the X-15....winged flight)<br>Bill Dana (the last to fly the X-15 and awarded Astronaut wings for his flights well over 300k + feet altitude)<br> * These guys were my heroes as a kid in the 70&apos;s.

  My grandfather flew on the mother ship &quot;High And Mighty One&quot; identifiable by the bald eagle on the nose. He was the crew chief, and used to flip the bird to the X-15 pilot as he hit the drop button.😂 I miss his stories. If you would like more behind the scenes info, let me know!
