I still get a kick out of that sound bite from that SR-71 pilot asking for ground speed reading from ATC.

Maybe it was the same sled driver that came on asking Los Angeles Center for clearance to FL 600 (~60,000')

The incredulous controller, with some disdain in his voice, asked: “Just how do you plan to get up to 60,000 feet?”

The pilot responded:   “We don’t plan to go up to it, we plan to come down to it…”
