Gotta love it! I have seen Bob Hoover multiple times at the Reading Airshow in PA back in the 70's. Thanks, Ron.

I remember this I was there back in 1997 when they filmed this this is after they reenacted the breaking the speed of sound October 14th 1997 at Edwards Air Force Base and they filmed at the Lancaster auditorium. I had a great day spending time with Lockheed test pilot Jim Eastham that day as well

Thank you so much for posting this! It is the first time I have seen all three of them together and it was a great view of a program without the smoothness of history covering the rough edges up!

General Yeager was a mustang. He started his military career as an enlisted mechanic.

I am sure glad someone had the sense to get these guys together and interview them before they were all gone.

I have future videos coming but it is sad that many of them have now passed.

Ron, thank you for your outstanding work. What and whom I would like to give a shout out is the American public school systems. Yeager was a high school graduate. He received a basic education that for the asking included algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus and statistics. All subjects that were necessary in a curriculum for test pilots. What is interesting is he got the slot for the X-1 because he was a maintenance officer, not a double ace.

Great find Ron! Met Mr. Hoover in '73 at the O'Club lunch line while in UPT. He was there checking out in the F-5E to later demo it at the Paris Air Show.

Had Bob Hoover not been disciplined for hot dogging history could've been written much different

Plenty of “ad lib” truth as it happened ! Great account of history also. Mr. Yeager knows his stuff 👍

Yeager and Hoover… what an odd couple

Such a shame that Yeager was such a vindictive and hateful individual, even to people as easy going as Neil Armstrong. I've known quite a few USAF pilots who didn't have anything good to say about him. Its sad because he didn't have to be that way, he was so talented, and was in such a position of authority.

Like AJ Foyt. He knew he was good. Too good.

Unsubstantiated. There is ZERO evidence, no tracking data to verify the F-86 prototype went supersonic before the X-1 did this in LEVEL FLIGHT mid-October 1947. Don't you think North American would crow about their plane being "first to MANNED supersonic flight" if they had tracking telemetry to support that contention?!? There is a reason why records keepers have rules to record speed and altitude records, why we have tracking sensors, cameras, radar, etc. that are calibrated. Nobody takes anybody's word without evidence -- they get the tracking data, telemetry, and camera footage to prove records. The F-86 could only go supersonic in a shallow dive and was only modestly supersonic -- less than Mach 1.1 critical speed. It did not have the aerodynamic design for level supersonic flight. Sorry to burst bubbles but the people who keep that story afloat are people who don't like Yeager. Most of the people who had reasons to dislike Chuck Yeager are long gone so why even keep this urban myth alive?!?
