“I’m not hurt. Just a bit excited.” These are the famous words shared by Lt. Harris, the first aviator to be saved by a McCook Field-developed ripcord parachute!
Today is the 100 year anniversary of the event - you can see his landing site on the left.

It took three years to make history but Dr. Darren Raspa, the AFRL Phillips Research Site historian and his colleagues did.

This particular #ChallengeCoin belonged to Raymond Urtz, former @GriffissInst chairman of the board of directors, and former director of the @AFResearchLab Information Directorate, here in @CityofRomeNY! #TBT #GIhistory #AFRLhistory
#SPIHistory This challenge coin was seen in a showcase at @GriffissInst in Rome, NY. SUNY Poly was formally known as the College of Technology from 1977 through the early 1990s #challengecoin #SUNYquantum #quantumcomputing #SUNYat70 #FromTheMillsToMarcy #TBT @SUNY
Back in the 1950’s our Dr. John Paul Stapp was in the seat instead of a mannequin. #Dedication #AFRLHistory https://t.co/ndWIfpQiOp
“We don’t just slap something on a jet and hope it works...You have to verify that it’s going work.”
Holloman AFB High-Speed Test Track uses highly instrumented mannequins to collect data on aircrew survivability during tests.

In the 1970s, the X-24B was the result of years of vehicle shape designs by the Flight Dynamics Lab. The X-24 series provided critical data necessary for landing the Space Shuttle, enabling @NASAto leave the Shuttle unpowered during atmospheric flight. #TBT #AFRLHistory #avgeek
The hypersonic X-15 spaceplane was designed in the 1950s using materials like titanium and nickel alloys developed in the Materials Lab for high temperature resistance. #TBT #AFRLHistory #avgeek
As a test subject, John Paul Stapp suffered a litany of minor injuries, riding a rocket sled over two dozen times, including this run, and his team's research during the late 1940s and early 1950s significantly improved safety in the @usairforce. #TBT #AFRLHistory
#TBT to the 1940s-50s when the Radiation Laboratory worked closely with the Armament Laboratory to improve electronics capabilities. The Short Range Navigation (SHORAN) combined ground-based and aerial navigation equipment to improve low-visibility bombing accuracy. #AFRLHistory
#TBT to 1922 and the McCook Field Airplane Section's 5-foot wind tunnel with engineers and Air Service Engineering School - now the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) - students in 1922. #AFRLHistory #avgeek
By 1943, @generalelectric and the Army Air Force had surpassed the British in jet engine performance with the J31 (called the I-16B by GE) which produced 1600 pounds of thrust and was the first American production jet engine. #TBT #AFRLHistory #avgeek
A whole lotta tweed goin' on. In 1945, the Scientific Advisory Group visited Europe to evaluate scientists and technology of interest for future @usairforce research. Dr. Theodore von Karman (center, seated) was its first chairman. #NationalTweedDay #AFRLHistory #PhDLife #avgeek
Happy #NationalDoctorsDay! In 1936, #aviation #medicine pioneers Harry Armstrong (left) and physiologist JW Heim (right) were involved in creating the first aeromedical laboratory which included an altitude chamber and a centrifuge made from spare parts. #USAFSAM100 #AFRLHistory
#TBT to 1934 when famed aviator Wiley Post secretly tested his pressure suits in Wright Field’s high-altitude chamber. Here, B.F. Goodrich pressure suit designer Russell Colley helps prepare Post for depressurization.#AFRLHistory #avgeek
