SR71 ground speed check - The LA Speed Story

Post by Solareagle »

This is pretty good. Maybe old hat around here but I didn't spot it with a quick search.

Love that story. Listen to it all the time. Favorite part is "center were showing a little closer to 2000".

Not sure if anyone is interested but I was curious how Major Shul received his facial scars and I was pretty sure it was likely from a aircraft accident DAAA. Anyhow searched and found out he was shot down in Nam flying a T-28 over Cambodia and was burned in the ensuing crash.

The I.S.S. should also ask for a ground speed check too.
