The Blackbird is still one of the greatest planes of all times.

P-791 was NOT and is NOT Top Secret. If it was so damn secret, why would it have first been flown in broad daylight alongside a major 4 lane highway in Palmdale CA?

What a bunch of buffoons. It’s a technology demonstrator.

It’s hard to imagine anyone mistaking the U-2 for a UFO “flying saucer.” I think this article is a stretch.

The SR-71 is an amazing plane, and her pilots are just as amazing. A few years back, I saw an interview with a Blackbird pilot. He said that in terms of demands on a pilot’s skills and endurance, a 2 hr mission in the SR-71 was equivalent to 14 or 15 hours in any other plane.

Here's a pic of the F-16xl. It was never classified and so flew regularily and always generated phone calls. Should have been built to. Great plane.

I tell you it was flyin'! No it wasn't a bird or a military balloon. No, it was on the sand so it couldn't have been swamp gas.

Who knew that a U-2’s max speed was a mere 410 mph? Not I.

The CIA estimates that more than half of the UFOs reported in the 1950s and 1960s were really American spy planes

Meaning the other half were UFOs?
