I was ordered not to look at it one time. Yeah, I looked.

Are you the one who looked inside the hanger while the Black Bird was being refuled and found yourself looking down the bore of a rifle?

One day in 1976 when I was an Airman stationed at McClellan AFB in the Tech Control Facility, I saw a huge black shadow fly very low over my apartment in Sacramento. I went into work the next day, got on the shoutdown orderwire to the control tower and asked if the SR 71 flew in yesterday. The guy at the tower almost climbed down my throat saying, "Who Is This?!" I calmly told him I was calling from the TCF and just wondered... I was assured that movements of aircraft were never discussed. One more lesson in what "the need to know" actually meant.
Years later my brother told me he saw it fly in and out all the time when he was stationed in England.
