Wow......Very nice.

I bought the X-15 but got tired of just flopping around till you got sick. Only way to get back down is to slew level and then reduce alt until some gravity and level of control are introduced.
Still flying from Edwards to Groom in 3 minutes is pretty cool.
Thanks for the vid.:icon30:
 
Fantastic..just like a '60s documentary. Dont know much about the X-15 but a lot of the info learnt must of went into the Space Shuttle
