About this listen
Before Top Gun, before stealth, before even the word “supersonic” was cool, there was Chuck Yeager strapping into a rocket with busted ribs and proving the impossible wrong. In this episode, Red takes you back to the late 1940s and 1950s — the birth of supersonic flight. From the Bell X-1 and the “sound barrier” myth to the sketchy F-100 Super Sabre and the rise of America’s Century Series jets, this is the wild, loud, dangerous era when speed wasn’t just about flying — it was about identity, strategy, and straight-up bragging rights.
Expect humor, sarcasm, maintainer rants, fake ads, and the kind of detail you don’t get in a history book. Buckle up — because once you hear that sonic boom, there’s no going back.
