The wings are very thin. I like the SR-71 a lot more, but, that wierd plane, made able to fly by computer adjustments, in the millions per second, is pretty amazing...

I just saw an SR-71 at the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center over Thanksgiving. It is a damn impressive airplane. I spent about 30 minutes just staring at it.
On March 6, 1990, the service career of one Lockheed SR-71A Blackbird ended with a record-setting flight. This special airplane bore Air Force serial number 64-17972. Lt. Col. Ed Yeilding and his RSO, Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Vida, flew this aircraft from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. in 1 hour, 4 minutes, and 20 seconds, averaging a speed of 3,418 kph (2,124 mph). At the conclusion of the flight, '972 landed at Dulles International Airport and taxied into the custody of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. At that time, Lt. Col. Vida had logged 1,392.7 hours of flight time in Blackbirds, more than that of any other crewman.
Nope, I don't get no perspective with pics that big. I am on broadband, but my display runs at 1024x768, and I have to scroll both horizontally and vertically and see only a part of any one plane at a time.Santilli said:Gives you a perspective on the plane against other planes, and, the 4 wheel vehicle they use to move planes around...

Hey, my speeds aren't normally this good - I need to brag when they are! :wink:
You know that air inhouse can be like five times more polluted than the air outside? It won't help you solve your breathing problems.Mercutio said:Never leaving house again.
