    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.

    Oh, and if any of you happen to find yourself in a C130 without a pilot, on approach, the landing gear is that big flat sided round lever, center console. I kept forgetting where it was...

    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.
