Was stationed at EDW AFB straight out of tech school 1965 and was a mechanic on a TB-58 and the X-15 in the maintenance hanger under the HIgh and Mighty B-52 was a real sight to see at the age of 19. Even being a crew chief on C-141 A and C-130 E's still consider my time at EDW the high light of my career in the Air Force and after many years retired in 1990 because of old age more than anything else. Go Air Force.
Yet another awesome contribution. Thanks again, AIRBOYD.
People think the SR22 is the fastest plane. I say it was the X15, and these pilots were the first men in space. When I was a kid, Scott Crossfield was one of my heros.
Dear AIRBOYD: This is some really good stuff. Thanks you for posting it!!
You all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Jaxson Ariel instablaster :)
@Rogelio Raiden Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Rogelio Raiden it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out !
@Jaxson Ariel Glad I could help :)
Side note and kind of tragic, the pilot they keep calling JOE at the beginning is Joe Walker, as I just wrote. Sadly he was killed on 8 June 1966, when his F-104 Starfighter chase aircraft collided with a North American XB-70 Valkyrie. Walker had been flying in a tight group formation for a publicity photo, when his F-104 drifted into the XB-70.
Thank you
Thank you for uploading this video.
When i was in 2nd and 3rd grade thus was the COOLEST thing ever! If you scored a Revell model of it you yoy took it to school to show all the guys!
Thanks again for another terriffic film. Best history of avation material on the web!
Much greatful for u to share this great footage material 🙏🤲👍👍
A great TV program about a great aerospace program. It just doesn't get any better.
@gmcjetpilot Walker would be the only pilot the program to qualify as an astronaut according to FIA rules. NASA would award eight X-15 pilots astronaut wings. Walker is right up there with the likes of Chuck Yeager and Scott Crossfield.
I love how, at around 19:44, the narrator goes from one who sounds like Jack Webb to one who sounds more like a serious Ward Cleaver., then back to Jack at around 20:48.
I think that's a different clip spliced in between, and I don't hear a lot of difference...a normal pitch variation over the course of a day.
Been following and studying the x-planes since 1987. Public Library . including Janes book etc etc. There were just a handful of books on the subject. In high school I probably
read every book on the shelfs on the subject of space except communications satellites.
Met with Mitch Varnes with canevaral council of technical societies [NASA] back in
1988-1989. Read about the group in a book i saw at walden books at the local mall.
John Loghsdon a scientist with Rockwell ntl. at the time wrote the book 1988.
The Book was called Your guide to investing in space exploration. I read many
articles on the apolo program but i felt the x- plane path was the key to the future.
My background is 2 years of engineering. 2 years of electronics [AS].
Which gave me an industrial engineering education. I then worked at a Full service
aircraft maintenance facility in Florida for a while where I learned many areas
of the complete Overhaul of Major brands such as Boeing and Airbus. I now have
an MS. in Engineering Management. Approved by the USA. USAF approved me for
a Reserve officer designation under the AFROTC that i was approved for in 1976.
in high school. NEW JERSEY.
My stepfather invented the ejection seat for the x-15 at North American Aviation in Columbus
okay 😂😂😂
everything looked ahead of its time ,, the camera, buildings and technology
I Love how rational and intelligent all these men are - doing some really amazing stuff - so much hard work and science, to achieve greatness ! :-)
Great video. Thanks!
Fantastic documentary.
thnx for posting
this is going on watch later for sure!
Good stuff, thanks for posting.
@UserNamei5 Yeah, I thought somebody might say that. If you have time, read the book "The Right Stuff." In it you might learn that the X15 pilots often went higher and faster than any human previously. Like the vid said, they went so high that aerodynamic controls no longer functioned. Believe what you want.
50 miles high and still we see a level flat horizon, must be before we discovered the curve at 80,000 feet in the sr71
Bingo
The narrator sounds like Jack Webb from the "Dragnet" radio and TV series.
@Barnekkid I think you might mean the a12/sr71 ? If so, I think it was the fastest air-breathing one.
11:03 "...scuse me, can I have your autograph?..."
Record breaker
Marvelous
@hogey74 Yup, you're right...good catch, dude.
Ob die Metal genug Stärker .....Mit Höchsten Geschwindigkeit können.....?
You can see how the X-15 came to morph into the SR 71 Blackbird.
These two aircraft had literally nothing to do with each other.
@@x15galmichelleevans 💯
I am guessing Joe is Joe Walker... which according to the list of flights and pilots, shows he did 25 flights from 1960-1963, the 2nd highest number of flights after John B. McKay. The only other "Joe" was Joseph H. Engle, with 16 flights, but his first flight was not until late in 1963. If this film is from 1962 or earlier, it is not Joe Engle.
Actually, the X-15 pilot with the most number of flights was Bob Rushworth who flew 34 total missions.

These guys look like drones reading from the script! Such intelligent people, why didn't they study the script and make the speech more natural??
Awesome footage and video though...
+MikeVonDoom Most documentary footage from that era, interviewing non-actors, commonly made them look stiff and awkward. And when you consider many of these guys were engineers, whose "doorknob personality" stereotype is based on some degree of reality, it's really not that much of a leap.
Is the narrator Joe Friday?
Theodore Thursday 😮
Mit Astronaut Kleidung......

Rubbish Bud. I've had the privilege to talk to some of these fella's
