  Joseph A. Walker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Albert Walker (20 February 1921 - 8 June 1966) was an American military test pilot; in 1963, he made two X-15 flights past the 100 kilometer edge of space, the only spaceplane flights past that threshold made until SpaceShipOne in 2004.
In 1960, he made the first test flight of the X-15 aircraft; Walker would go on to fly the X-15 24 times, including the only two flights of the X-15 to exceed 100 kilometers in altitude, Flight 90 (19 July 1963; 106 km) and Flight 91 (22 August 1963; 108 km).
One of the first Fellows of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots, Walker was killed on June 8, 1966, in a collision between his F-104 chase plane and an XB-70.

Walker asserts the district court erred (1) in denying his motion to suppress statements made during custodial interrogation and allowing the statements to be introduced at trial and (2) in allowing the use of the two statements allegedly made by him via telephone, due to insufficient foundation regarding the caller's identity.
In regard to Walker's first assignment of error, which basically asserts that he was "in custody" and was subjected to police interrogation without the benefit of being read his Miranda rights, we find that based on all the facts and circumstances of this case, the Miranda warnings were not required.

Walker, leaving Green River July 24, 1833, embarked upon his controversial exploration trip to California, uncertain because the instructions given him by Bonneville are not precisely known, nor is the ultimate objective and motive of the expedition entirely clear.

Walker ranched in California for several years, was interested in railroad surveys of the west, explored the Mono Lake region of California, and in 1859 guided troops in a campaign against the Mohaves along the Colorado River, and in 1861 organized the group that would open up central Arizona.
