X-1 fuel tank exploded due to problem with gaskets in fuel tank. The gasket problem was related to the X-1's liquid oxygen tank rather than the fuel (water-alcohol) tank. That being said, the forward section of the fuel tank did fail as the result of a chain reaction caused by the lox tank gasket problem. 9 w/o Jun 30, 1950 at MacDill AFB, FL 10 was *Lucky Lady II*, which made first nonstop flight around the world Feb 26-March 2, 1949.

Converted to XF-87A but order was cancelled and was scrapped. 46-523/524 McDonnell XP-85 Goblin Redesignated XF-85 in 1948. 523 completed Oct 1947. Shipped to the Ames Aeronautical Research Laboratory, NAS Moffett, CA Nov 9, 1947 for wind tunnel tests. Preparations for the wind tunnel test were completed by Jan 8, 1948. When being lifted onto the support pylons, the sky hook latch disengaged due to faulty assembly and the forward section of the Goblin was severely damaged. Returned to McDonnell at St Louis for repairs. First and only flight Apr 8, 1949. Severe turbulence and loss of directional stability, prevented a hook-up to the B-29 and forced the pilot to make an emergency landing on the lakebed. Donated Aug 23, 1950 to National Museum of the US Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio. 524 shipped to the Ames Aeronautical Research Laboratory, NAS Moffett, CA as a replacement for 46-523 for the wind tunnel tests. Returned to McDonnell at St Louis spring 1948 to prepare for flight tests. Shipped to Muroc AFB 5Jun48. First flight Aug 23, 1948. Initially, the XF-85 made captive flights suspended beneath the EB-29B above Muroc Dry Lake. The first free flight came on August 28. The test pilot detached his XF-85 from the EB-29B and flew free for 15 minutes while he evaluated the handling properties of the new fighter. Severe turbulence and loss of directional stability prevented a hook-up to the B-29. The XF-85 was slammed up against the trapeze and the canopy was shattered, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing on the lakebed. Following repairs, 46-524 made three flights on October 14 and 15 of 1948. It was originally transferred to the Norton Air Force Base (near San Bernardino, California). When the base museum was closed and its collection dispersed, the second XF-85 prototype languished in an unrestored condition as part of the Tallmantz private collection in California, until being acquired by Offutt AFB. Transferred to the Strategic Air Command Museum or SAC Museum, Omaha AFB, NE The museum moved location to Ashland, NE May 1998. The museum's name changed to the Strategic Air & Space Museum June 2001. To be renamed Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum Jun 2016. 46-525 McDonnell XP-88 Voodoo Redesignated XF-88 in 1948.
