No? I remember when I first joined the Navy back in ‘67. I just made E-3 and got assigned on a special mission to do some bombing runs over Hanoi in a super secret SR-71. Lucky for me that puppy can really move and I dodged a whole bunch of Atlas V anti SR-71 rockets. That’s my war story and I’m stickin’ to it. :>}

Unless you got a lucky hat from the CIA during one of those runs, you’re just another GI.

Except the SR-71 was designed to take photos and air samples. It did not have a provision for bombs.

I was at Beale AFB back in 1968-1969. Had a Blue Feather clearance.
