(FILES) This photo released by the US Navy shows Lieutenant Ron Candiloro, assigned to Fighter Squadron One Five One, breaking the sound barrier in an F/A-18 "Hornet" 07 July, 1999. The squadron was deployed with the USS Constellation battlegroup. Charles E. Yeager, who epitomized the hotshot fly-boys of the postwar era, broke the sound barrier on 14 October 1947 forever changing the face of aviation. Soaring at an altitude of 45,000 feet (13,700 meters) he reached the speed of sound -- some 1,100 kilometers per hour -- after he and several other pilots in the same program came frustratingly close, without quite managing to breach the barrier. The significance of the flight was enormous: Supersonic speed, Yeager told AFP, allowed the US military to fly "faster than the enemy," but just as importantly, he saId, it opened up space: Star Wars, satellites."
