• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

on 14 october 1947 Captain Charles "Chuck" Yeager made his famous first suüersonic flight from Edwards Airforce Base with his Bell X-1 nicknamed "Glamorous Glennis".
So i made for my own use the B-29, the Bell X-1 and Edwards Air Force Base in the 1950th.

That is amazing. Is that a “retro” KEDW?? I poked at my own years ago but never completed for lack of time. Yours looks stunning.

Funny enough, I also never had time to buy, study, and fly either of the Xtreme Prototypes X-1 or X-15 products. Looks like I have another reason to make that happen … :)
