Brian Shul - From Butterflies to Blackbirds
Youtube ^ | Unknown | Brian Shul

Posted on 03/24/2016 3:57:32 PM PDT by Twotone

Tired of politics? Set aside some time, get a glass of what you like and settle in.

Brian Shul is the real McCoy. He crashed at the end of the Vietnam War in Cambodia, with very little chance of survival... and beat the odds. He is funny and informative; he did it and lived to tell the story. There are very few around like him.

There are good public speakers, and then there's Brian Shul. He talks about life's choices and outcomes, but laced within his message are incredible stories of his years as an SR71 Blackbird pilot.

The SR 71, known as "The Sled," is the fastest plane ever built. It owns all the flying records.

I'm not going to spoil it for you, but it's worth every minute to listen to him speak. He's funny and very informative on many levels. Scroll down and enjoy!

And a terrific Ronald Reagan story around the 18 minute mark. I don't know when this was originally posted to Youtube, but a friend just passed it on to me. Enjoy...

My wife’s father was one of the the first group of SR-71 pilots. I never met him, but I wish I had. They were an incredible group of pilots. I bet he had some stories...
