sometimes my regular work affords me the opportunity to meet some special
people... this fellow is singularly unique. He has flight records that
are likely not to be duplicated.
So, a patient of mine is a former x15a2 pilot and has astronaughts wings.
When I can I chat about things. It was just a yesterday that I asked him how
much time elapsed from when the x15 was dropped to touch down at the
landing site.....
------ He said about 12 to 15 minutes.
I was under the impression that the flight was substantially longer lived.
So, How many g's did it pull when the rockets lit ?
-------4g's for a while until the sky was black.
.........to be able to chat with living history.
