| Description |
c/n 6567. The D-558 stage 2 was the first aircraft type to break Mach-2 (twice the speed of sound), in the hands of Scott Crossfield on 20th November 1953. The actual record breaking Skyrocket was the second of the three aircraft built, ‘NACA144’, and is preserved in the NASM, Washington DC. This is the first of the three and completed 123 flights. It is on display in the rather crowded ‘Jet & Air Racers’ hangar at the Planes of Fame Museum, Chino, California, USA. 28-2-2016 |
