It seems to be missing the length of broomstick he had with him when he broke the sound barrier.
He’d broken some ribs while riding a horse the day before.

I remember seeing it in the museum. So tiny!

That’s what struck me. Super primitive looking. The seat is basically a metal bench with seat belts. No padding except for a small headrest.

Wow! I had the same thought. Not much more than sitting in a metal can with a couple of straps for safety — if you can call flying an experimental aircraft like this truly safe.

Chuck Yeager and all those test pilots are truly American inspirations. I wish more kids today would learn about them.

Time to schedule 4 hours to re-watch The Right Stuff.
