Today marks the 103rd anniversary of the birth of #ChuckYeager, one of the most #iconic figures in aviation history. From decorated #CombatAce to pioneering #TestPilot who helped usher in the #supersonic age, he left an enduring mark on aerospace development and the course of modern flight.
History may be written by winners, but it's built by the madmen who strap themselves to experimental engines and twist the throttle. Grim, black-and-white hallucination of progress fleeing the rot of conformity at 20 miles per hour.

Fifty years ago Concorde made its first commercial flight. Seven years earlier in April 1969, Brian Trubshaw was the first British pilot to fly Concorde. His grave can be found in the churchyard of St Nicholas, Cherington, in the Cotswolds.

A vintage black and white photograph of two young boys, one dressed as the Lone Ranger, the other in a test pilot costume, both standing on a driveway in front of an open garage.
The Lone Ranger and Test Pilot.

I only knew the basics of #ClarkGable's life so this brilliant biography was a fascinating, page-turning eye-opener about the King of Hollywood.
A very interesting and latterly very-troubled man and I expect this'll send me back to #RedDust, #ManhattanMelodrama and #TestPilot.

Today is the #25thAnniversary of the #planecrash of a #Challenger604 that killed my husband #EricFiore and two others.
Please think about Eric and his sacrifice to keep you safe in the sky. He was honored to be a #NATO #F-15 pilot and later an experimental #testpilot.
