First Re-entry

Ten-thirty AM, Tuesday, June 29, 1965, Edwards Air Force Base, California, the X-15, a mantis-shaped missile, scant seconds before it approaches the surface of the lakebed at a blistering speed of nearly 300 mph! As the exotic black rocket plane gently touches down on Runway 18, the research program's 138th mission comes to an end, and its 32-year-old pilot enters the history books as the youngest ever to qualify as an astronaut.
Signed and Numbered Limited Edition of 850 Size: 33½ x 20¼ Price: $135. Each print signed by the artist and personally autographed by Maj. Gen. Joe H. Engle, pilot of the mission.
