Selfie underneath an X-15 model. It looks like a rocket with stubby wings attached, because that's basically what it is! I have short grey hair and beard, and there's other aircraft in the background.
Good afternoon BlueSky! Late with the #MuseumSelfie today, but please enjoy our X-15! This is the engineering model used by North American and NASA for wind tunnel tests.
Fun fact: the drag from that thick wedge of a dorsal fin at low speed is as much as an entire F-104!
