Mmmmm... SR71's :drool:

Coast to coast in like 30 minutes or something, right?

Then it lands and pisses fluids all over the runway..... Gotta love it!

Big Block!!!!!!

[Reverend Cooper]

only pisses fluids just like any other jet due to exspansion and contraction is all. but still cool none the less nice find

Those planes are awsome looking...
I got an upclose look at a Black Bird when it was in the Air Force hangar at Mitchell, this is when I was in C.A.P.

It had to emergency land when it was coming back from EAA cause of a fuel leak. Wanna talk about smelling pure jet fuel in a closed hangar.

I seen a start cart in person while on vacation in Florida in 1995....The start cart I seen was powered by two Buick "nailhead" engines from a Wildcat....
