P.S: Don't take this the wrong way and who am i to tell you, but the dimensions of your pix should not be larger than 800x600. Sorry to have to tell you that, but the Mods will delete it, because rules are rules for everybody here

The complete history of the real X-15 can be found here (http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/Histo ... cover.html).

Nice ! but i do think the mods will like them !  :)

if your interested theres a much more advanced model available here in the 2k4 section somewhere  8)

The thing held the altitude and speed records for decades. As far as I know, only spacecraft can fly higher and the scramjet powered X-43 finaly broke its speed record last month

Well oh well. Stunning aircraft. Must have a weird panel.

you can find some stuff about this plane in the specific aircraft forum...i once started a thread there about this aicraft because i was fascinated about it. to keep things straight, it will be better -i think-  to continue this discussion over there...  ;)
