GREAT FIND!!!! Thanks!

I'm so amazed with this aircraft and what it's done. Not just it's function as an aircraft, but also in international political arena.

I heard the pilots posted a sign on the entrance
"you've never been lost, 'til you've been lost at Mach 3"

I was partial to the fact that the SR-71 comes with a tool in the cockpit known as a "dinghy stabber" just in case the life raft inflates... I just love the fact that the fastest aircraft of all time comes with a tool specifically for killing a life raft... the pilots just couldn't just carry a knife?
