This video is gold. Too bad it’s not accompanied with the audio. In test pilot George Marrett’s book “Contrails over the Mojave” he puts the blame for the accident squarely on Yeager for not following certain procedures. Of course I’m not 2% the pilot Yeager was/is, so I’m not judging. Amazing video. Interestingly, as has happened in other accidents, as soon as the seat left the aircraft, the jet stabilized on its own, probably from both change in CG and/or change in airflow due to now missing canopy.
