The husband of a gal that worked with Mrs rktman was an AF SR-71 jockey. He told me he once had a task to video/film the space shuttle external tank re-entry but got pulled off for another mission. He said he’d have to, do something to me if he told me what it was. LOL! He loved flying them. One landed at Patrick AFB south of Cocoa Beach once for some issue and we were near by when they departed. Friggin’ awesome.
The standard line was I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you, lol.
