I am sure in the 1960's people saw the SR-71 and said the same thing.

I didn't see either of those two SR-71's that weren't at Kadena in the 60's.

While at Sea Survival School at Kadena, we saw one land......and hauled straight into a hanger. Less than 5 minutes exposure.

When I last visited Muskegon, when we met, my brother and I went to the Air Show to watch the Blue Angels.....and the others. While we were leaving, heading out to find the car parked in a field of cars and in a crowd, the Number 7 Angel did a low level pass coming up from behind. I sensed it, since I'd been around aircraft and these hot-dogs, and turned my brother around just before the 7 made the pass. He ducked...the jet roar passing over gave him a start. Told him when they come in from behind, you don't really hear them coming; even at subsonic the sound lags behind.

Watched the Black Bird land at Kadena too......touch down and straight to the hanger. No peeking.
