Description
We welcomed back Michelle Evans to honor the life of the last X-15 pilot, Joe Engle. Joe passed away at 91 in July 2024. Michelle knew Joe personally, had much to say about him, his character, and his accomplishments throughout our nearly 90 minute broadcast.In addition, we talked about the X-15, all the great X-15 pilots, Michelle told us stories about them all and of course about Joe. We had lots of questions, a great call near the end of the show from Tony and Michelle provided us with an excellent closing tribute to Joe Engle. The entire program was dedicated to both Joe's honor and memory. All of us lost a great one with the passing of Joe Engle and one the greatest ever stories in aviation and space lost its last living pilot. As I said to Michelle in closing, X-15 will not die. Michelle told us about the efforts to keep it alive and all about what she is doing along those lines. The Space Show will continue talking X-15 on into our future. If you have not yet read her book or if you do not yet have a copy of it sitting you desk, order it today from our Space Show Amazon link on our home page, "The X-15 Rocket Plane: Flying the First Wings into Space
