Ladies & Gentlemen:

There are several reasons for this page:

We believe it is only fitting to honor this great aviator by providing our visitors with a collection of video links about the X-15's history.

The X-15 flew 199 times; Scott piloted the X-15 fourteen times , all during the first thirty flights. The X-15's first eight flights were piloted by Scott (he flew eleven of the plane's first twelve flights).
