“The #Convair #B-58 originally went into service in 1960 with standard ejection seats, but the possibility of ejecting at supersonic speeds and at extreme high altitude meant the crewman stood little chance of surviving these extreme conditions. [...] The first live, inflight supersonic test of the escape capsule took place on March 21, 1962, but the body inside wasn’t a member of the Air Force… it was a female #bear name Yogi!”
