re: SR-71 - the King of Speed.
Great Blackbird story, thanks.
And, welcome back.
Worked with an engineer back in 89-90, whose dad was USAF honcho at Hickam Field, at an earlier date.
The story goes that on one particular SR-71 flight from California to Hawaii, the Blackbird sprinted at 3,500 mph for a considerable period of time.
Smokin' titanium.
Another great story
