Today marks a historic day for flight! On June 29, 1965, U.S. Air Force Capt. Joe Engle qualified for astronaut wings after he piloted a North American X-15 more than 50 miles above ground. At the EAA Aviation Museum in Oshkosh, we are thrilled to celebrate that feat, among his many other accomplishments over the course of Engle’s esteemed career. #aviation #avgeek #flying #OnThisDay #NASA #pilot #astronaut | EAA - The Spirit of Aviation

The program was a joint U.S. Air Force/Navy/NASA project, and four of its 12 pilots were U.S. Air Force officers. One pilot, USAF Maj. Michael J. Adams, died in an X-15 crash in 1967. Another X-15 pilot, Neil Armstrong, later became the first man to walk on the moon. #dronevideo #x15 | National Museum of the U.S. Air Force | Facebook
