Thanks for reviving a fun thread.

USAF Colonel Joe Kittenger jumped from a high altitude balloon at just over 100,000 ft. in 1960. During his free-fall back to earth, in the ultra-thin atmosphere, his body accelerated to over Mach 1.

Next question:
On July 29, 1967, a stray Zuni rocket from an F-4 Phantom, triggered by stray voltage, set off a chain of events that left 134 dead and more than 300 injured from a fire on the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal.
The deadly chain reaction began when the rocket hit a parked and armed A-4 Skyhawk, rupturing its fuel tanks and feeding fires that enveloped planes parked on deck.

Who was the pilot of that A-4 Skyhawk that was hit?
