Back in 2004, I was invited to the dedication of the Mike Adams X-15 memorial out in the middle of the desert. His final X-15 flight crashed in the desert just east of Johannesberg in 67 and, at the speed it was traveling, scattered parts for miles. The memorial is located at the approximate point of impact and is made of some of the same material used to build the X-15. I don't know if the cool pic of the X-15 above is the one flown by Mike Adams, but there were only a handful of them built. He was an American Hero if there ever was one and was posthumously awarded his astronaut wings. Sorry this has no truck relevance, but near and dear nonetheless..
Thanks for sharing with us
Some more I saved from Facebook:
Gotta look closely on this one (below):
