We are currently in the process of organizing the video, photographs and documents that will appear in this section. Please check back. We will be adding items regularly.

You can read Scott's book Always Another Dawn here on this website in its entirety. If you would like further reading we also offer X-15: Extending the Frontiers of Flight by Dennis R. Jenkins This book goes into more of the technical details of the X-15 project. There is also an excellent article in "Air & Space" magazine on Why We Miss the X-15. The article contains interviews with Mark Lewis and Richard Hallion. And finally, check out "American X-Vehicles" a summary of all the X-vehicles from the X-1 to the X-50.

Recently added is the slideshow/talk that Scott delivered to a wide variety of groups. If you missed it, or want to experience it again, here is your chance. New scans were made from the original slides.

An interesting interview with Benjamin Delahauf Foulois can be heard right here. Apparently, Scott had an interest in Foulois and had requested this recording. In this interview, Foulois describes how the United States Air Force began.

Let us not forget that flying is fun. If you are at home or at work right now, take a moment and watch this trailer for the movie One Six Right and think about how nice it would be to be at your local airport right now. Take 5 minutes and and go there right now. Enjoy. May take a moment to start depending on your connection speed. Requires QuickTime plugin or other method of playing .mov files.

Please remember that the foundation exists on your donations and from sales of items in the on-line store. Please do your part to help the foundation continue to do Scott's work well into the future.

"We see Scott's legacy in so many of the airplanes flying today. The Chine on the F-16, the Stability Augmentation System (SAS) on the B-52 to name a few. The risk he encountered on each and every testflght was tremendous. Scott was a true hero who pioneered the advancement of flight; each and every time he strapped himself into an airframe. If we could only feel what he experienced through each new flight envelope, what a rush it would be. Thank you Scott for doing the hard work that others could not do. Thank you for standing up for the principles you felt were critical and important. Through this website, I hope many new young aviators learn and experience Scott’s wonderful contribution to flight. God Bless you and your family. "

"The tributes for Scott begin an important phase of linking the past for this marvelous pilot and friend .... and bonds today the future for all those of us who knew him and share the pain of his loss. Scott was unique amongst pilots. His legend spoke volumes for himself ... yet his quiet demeanor told each of us who knew him well, that he was truly a man of grace and bravery. Not long ago I was chatting next to him in a CAP conclave in Washington DC. I asked him which airplane he had flown, from all the many was his favorite; Without a pause he said "...the last one". Soar with the angels my friend. We who wait salute you. "

"Scotty was the one who changed the idea of test pilots being cowboys to one of them being engineers. He did more to change the way test flying was done, and thus make the sky safer for military pilots, civilian pilots, and for the passengers they carry every day. He was always a gentleman and a pleasure to interview. I look forward to paying him tribute in my forthcoming book."

"Whenever I saw him I always found him to be a wonderful person. Humble, caring and a positive role-model to both young people and adults. This is a fitting tribute to Scotty done with love."
