Interesting.

In the early 70’s a close military friend of mine had been to Okinawa TDY . . . and managed to snap a pic of a blackbird and get away with it. He was a cheeky sort of guy.

Once cussed a stupid General out on a com-line—the General had made some very stupid decisions about the comm set-up . . . and my friend got away with it.

Yeah...the APs weren't real fond of camera men around the flight line.

We were there for Sea Survival school and at the end of the day saw the Black Bird approach and land. I'd never eyeballed one before but have tracked, if you can call it that, on a radar screen. It flies so high and fast the track is just intermittent blips, appearing and disappearing. Like the track, it appeared and then disappeared, towed immediately into a hanger.
