Secam se da sam nekada negde procitao da je bivsi pilot na Su-15 izjavio da je sletanje tog aviona kao da drzis medveda za mu*a.
I dalje se smejem na to svaki put kada se setim.
Citat:The mission goes as planned until the rocket-propelled NF-104A reaches 101,595 feet and goes into an uncontrollable yawing and rolling motion. Yeager tries all what he can to recover the plane that is falling back towards the desert below in a flat spin
At 8,500 feet, he decides to eject from the uncontrollable Starfighter.
During the separation from the ejection seat he’s struck in the face by the rocket nozzle while the combination of the red hot nozzle and oxygen in his helmet produced a flame that burned the left side of his neck and set several parachute cords on fire.
Yeager will be hospitalized for two weeks, but he’s alive.
