SR 71 Blackbird dropping the hammer.

SR71 has always been my favorite 'modern' aircraft. The power and grace of it are unsurpassed (so far as we know) so far. There are some books and videos out from some of the pilots telling some of the experiences of flying it. Some are quite entertaining.

Here is Brian Shul USAF (Ret) telling the LA speed check story. He is a good story teller.

What do I know, but that looked real. I haven't seen the second video yet, I'll check it out. It's a pretty impressive airplane all right.

Cool stuff. I used to commute past Beale AFB for years-a former SR-71 base and was cleared to perform civilian work on base. There were still U2's performing touch and go's in the early 2000's at least. A U2 crashed in Oroville (very close) while I worked in the area.
