Re: SR-71 Flight Manual
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.

Re: SR-71 Flight Manual
I heard the pilots posted a sign on the entrance
"you've never been lost, 'til you've been lost at Mach 3"
"you've never been lost, 'til you've been lost at Mach 3"

At mach 3 you just keep going strait, because in a matter of hours you will be back where you started.

Re: SR-71 Flight Manual
You have no idea how hard I have looked for a checklists on this very subject:

"Before Penetration" - Defog switch on. My Trans Am had the same checklist.

Re: SR-71 Flight Manual
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?
