How are we going to close out the P-47 wing? As Ca How are we going to close out the P-47 wing? As Casey shows off what we're working with so far, he's got a question for you at the end of this video that he'll answer in the next. 

How would you work through putting this wing back together without stressing your hands too much? Give us your best strategy and then find out in tomorrow's video how our guys will put it all together!
On this day in aviation history, USAF Colonel Edwa On this day in aviation history, USAF Colonel Edward H. Taylor set a Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) world speed record at Edwards Air Force Base, averaging around 700 mph across a 1,000 km course in the RF-101C Voodoo. Just over a week later, another Voodoo pilot would push the platform even further, highlighting just how capable this aircraft—and its crews—had become in the early supersonic era.

Taylor was far more than a record-setting pilot. A veteran of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, he logged over 5,000 flight hours across multiple generations of aircraft, from the P-38 Lightning to high-speed reconnaissance jets over North Vietnam. His career reflects the evolution of U.S. airpower—and the demands placed on the pilots flying at its edge.

The aircraft behind the record, the RF-101C Voodoo, was an unarmed reconnaissance variant built for speed and survivability. Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney J57 afterburning turbojets, it was one of the first operational aircraft capable of exceeding 1,000 mph. With a top speed just over Mach 1.5 and a service ceiling above 55,000 feet, it could rapidly penetrate contested airspace while carrying a six-camera suite for multi-angle intelligence collection.

More than just a record-holder, the RF-101C proved itself in combat—particularly over Vietnam—where speed and altitude were its primary defenses.

A milestone flight, but also a snapshot of an era where performance and mission capability were inseparable.
