Re: SR71 Flight Manual
Dont know about the SR-71, but I can and have landed a C130. So what if it was in the simulator at Cherry Point, still counts.

Re: SR71 Flight Manual
I've always been intrigued by this plane after seeing a dcoumentray that stated the SR71 leaked fuel prior to takeoff of due to unsealed panels which would seal shut at high altitudes due to heat expansion. It had to literally get fueled, takeoff and get refueled in flight.

One of the baddest birds ever, but that baby is 30-40 year old tech. Just imagine the bad ass shit they've got in the skunk works now. :shock:
