Airmen assigned to the 6th Air Refueling Wing started returning to MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., last weekend after the base survived Hurricane Milton largely intact. But personnel assigned to the headquarters of U.S. Central Command and U.S. Special Operations Command, both located at MacDill, may have to wait a while before they can return to their usual offices.

#OTD Oct. 14, 1947, despite having broken two ribs two nights before in a riding accident—Air Force Capt. Charles "Chuck" Yeager flew the X-1 to Mach 1.05 at 43,000 feet. He later described the sensation as “poking through Jell-o.” He told National Public Radio in 2011 that the X-1 experience was more a matter of “being in the right place at the right time” than of being an especially gifted pilot. #AirForce #USAF #Airman #SpaceForce #Guardian
