“Digitally restored footage of then Col. Chuck Yeager in an unrecoverable spin in an NF-104 that started at 101,000 ft resulting in ejection at 8,500 ft. It was later determined that the spin was not due to pilot error but due to gyroscopic condition caused by engine rotation after shutting down.” Seen on: @military_aerospace - #Eject #Incident #chuckyeager #f104 #usairforce #Military #Aviation #FighterPilot #FighterJet #AvGeek #Pilot #Aerospace | Aviation Mafia

Alex Herok Sarkar on Instagram: "🎖️ On December 10, 1963, legendary pilot Chuck Yeager climbed into an NF-104A (a rocket-boosted F-104 “zoom” trainer) to push for extreme altitude. But at about 104,000 ft, the jet engine flamed out, and the plane pitched up into a flat spin. Control was lost as the atmosphere grew too thin for wings or thrusters to respond. After 13 full revolutions, Yeager ejected at ~7,000 ft. The seat tumbled, damaged his helmet visor, and ignited around his neck and face. H

Air, Land & Sea on Instagram: "Chuck Yeager ejecting from a Lockheed F-104 Starfighter—a jet known for being hard to fly and dangerous. Its tiny wings, narrow body, and small stabilisers gave it poor handling, especially at low speeds. In the clip, Yeager tries to recover from a flat spin by using the drag chute, which is usually meant for landing. It seems to help at first, but the jet loses control again and starts spinning. That’s when he ejects. The F-104 was built for speed back when engine
