Both flights paths will be at an altitude low enough for easy viewing by the public, and will take place between noon and 1 p.m.

The flights are part of a two-day event -- an Edwards AFB Family Day Oct. 13 and the Run with History event Oct. 14 – that mark both the 70th anniversary of supersonic flight and the U.S. Air Force’s 70th Birthday.

At 11 a.m. Oct. 13, a ceremony will pay homage to the milestone flight made seven decades ago. Yeager is expected to be present during the event, and retired Brig. Gen. Robert Cardenas who flew the B-29 carried the X-1 will speak during the ceremony. Also (Astronaut from NASA).
