North American X-15 airplane model. Immerse yourself in aviation history with this exciting museum quality desktop display model aircraft. The North American X-15 is an iconic piece that will bring endless joy and conversation to your space. Perfect for any aviation enthusiast or collector! An unofficial motto of flight research in the 1940s and 1950s was higher and faster. By the late 1950s the last frontier of that goal was hypersonic flight (Mach 5+) to the edge of space. It would require a huge leap in aeronautical technology, life support systems and flight planning. The North American X-15 rocket plane was built to meet that challenge. It was designed to fly at speeds up to Mach 6, and altitudes up to 250,000 ft. The aircraft went on to reach a maximum speed of Mach 6.7 and a maximum altitude of 354,200 ft. Looking at it another way, Mach 6 is about one mile per second, and flight above 265,000 ft. Qualifies an Air Force pilot for astronaut wings. Wingspan 8 1/4 inches, Length18 3/4 inches. Many more items available. This model is made with very high professional quality with attention to every detail using high-quality paints and resistant to fading. As a gift or souvenir. Your airplane on your desk, shelf or office. It can be a perfect gift for spouse, son, father, best friend or employer. Such a gift will be highly appreciated by people who are fond of aviation. And people related to aviation military, airlines, pilot. Mechanic, those who serve or have served in the aviation field. Model on nice presentation stand. You can add a brass plate to personalize. Handmade, painted and fitted with quality materials. This is a beautiful hand fitted replica airplane model.

Slightly curved large piece of an airplane? I bought this piece, and a few other related items, at the estate sale of Major Walter (Walt) J. Who was a well-known F-15 pilot in the late 1960s and 1970s. That’s why I assume this piece of metal is from an F-15, but I have no other information. It has been mounted to a heavy wood board. The board looks homemade – hand cut and stained – and has the Edwards AFB metal logo stuck to it. There are small paint? Speckles on the lower part of the wood. I’m hoping someone can research or knows the history behind this piece. Might have been some kind of presentation or memento.
