Great Pics! That plane is still impressive. 2Ts, you may be able to pick up one of these at a surplus sale sometime. : )

To keep from being photographed, I remember seeing one take off and about halfway down the runway it seemed to point straight up and flew out of sight. What an airplane!!!

Two weekends ago, an ex-military guy I was on a group motorcycle tour with told a very similar story: that he saw an SR-71 virtually vanish straight up from takeoff into a clear blue sky.

I was gonna mention it here, but wasn't sure whether he was talkin' smack. Sounds like he wasn't! <|:)~
